2016 Map of Wauneta

About this map

Wauneta sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural grid in eastern Yuma County, defined by the systematic township and range boundaries of the Public Land Survey System. The landscape is characterized by a network of rural thoroughfares, including Co Rd 50 and Co Rd Ff, which facilitate the movement of goods and travel through the high plains. Large blocks such as t4n r44w and t5n r44w show the organized division of land into sections, a pattern that has dictated settlement and farming in the region since the homesteading era. This 2016 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure overlaid on these traditional boundaries, illustrating how contemporary Colorado road networks like Co Rd 54 and Co Rd 51 follow the historic section lines to connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural hubs.
