2016 Map of Truckton NE

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined by a grid of rural section roads and the winding path of Pond Cr as it crosses the El Paso and Lincoln county line. This 2016 survey captures a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and aviation, notably featuring the Terra Firma Airport in the northeastern quadrant. Local history is anchored by the Saint Lukes Cem and the Lone Memorial, both situated along Shear Rd. The drainage patterns of the region are reflected in the shifting contours surrounding the creek, while the human footprint is seen in the long, straight reaches of Whittemore Rd and S Rush Rd that connect the remote homesteads of the Truckton area. This mapping illustrates the persistent layout of the Public Land Survey System, which continues to dictate the orientation of property and infrastructure in this semi-arid environment.
