2016 Map of Wildcat Canyon

About this map

The Arikaree River carves a winding path through this corner of Yuma County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of the eastern Colorado plains. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of watercourses, including the Copperkettle Cr and the seasonal flows of Hay Gulch and Wildcat Canyon. The landscape is etched with a precise grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 20 and Co Rd 13, which delineate the sections and townships of this agricultural and ranching region. To the north, the S Fork Black Wolf Cr and Sand Cr intersect the plateau, illustrating the essential relationship between water sources and land management in the High Plains. The map's detail provides a clear view of the township and range system, including t2s r44w and t3s r45w, which remains fundamental to local property records and historical land use research.
