2013 Map of Wauneta

About this map

Wauneta serves as the primary focal point of this high-plains landscape in Yuma County, situated along the corridor of Us-385 N. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of agricultural infrastructure, defined by a network of county roads including Co Road 54, Co Road 51, and Co Road 88. These thoroughfares follow the Public Land Survey System boundaries, segmenting the territory into townships such as t004n r044w and t005n r044w. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation shifts and depressions typical of the eastern Colorado plains, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of transport routes. The survey captures the spatial arrangement of a rural ranching and farming community in the early 21st century, showing how modern roads like Co Road AA and Co Road CC continue to define the movement and settlement patterns established decades prior.
