About this map

Walker Point stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this high plains region of eastern Colorado, marking the subtle divide between Lincoln and Crowley counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Dead Horse Cr, which carves a path through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by the expansive Ninemile Flats to the northeast. This 2016 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment where the grid of county roads, such as Co Rd G and Co Rd 17, provides the primary framework for navigation across the sections.

Water remains the critical element of this terrain, with drainage systems like Steels Fork and Lone Tree Cr indicating the natural flow toward the south and east. The map detail reflects the persistence of traditional land divisions, showing the township and range lines that have organized this territory since its initial settlement. For the researcher, the map captures a specific moment in the rural continuity of the Colorado plains, where geographic features like Walker Point remain the most significant orienting markers.
