1979 Map of Walks Camp Park

About this map

Walks Camp Church and the nearby Walks Camp Cemetery anchor this eastern Colorado landscape, reflecting the community life of Lincoln County in the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Arikaree River and its many tributaries, including the North Fork Arikaree River, Vega Creek, and Currie Creek. This area shows a functional mix of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, where a subterranean pipeline and a Gravel Pit coexist with local landmarks like the Thompson Landing Strips. The presence of several natural springs near Walks Camp Park highlights the vital role of water in this high plains environment, sustaining the small-scale developments and agricultural patterns recorded during this 1970s survey.
