2010 Map of Vernon

About this map

Vernon serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, where a rigid grid of section-line roads meets the winding drainage of the High Plains. The settlement is surrounded by an extensive network of rural thoroughfares, including County Road CC and County Rd-26, which facilitate movement across the agricultural terrain. To the east of the town site, Glendale Cemetery provides a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians, situated just north of the confluence where North Fork Black Wolf Creek and South Fork Black Wolf Creek join to form Black Wolf Creek. The map illustrates the 2010 intersection of modern county planning and the natural riparian corridors that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and local infrastructure in Yuma County.
