2019 Map of Wildcat Canyon

About this map

The Arikaree River winds through this section of the High Plains, creating a riparian corridor that contrasts sharply with the surrounding uplands of Yuma County. The local landscape is defined by the incision of Wildcat Canyon and the drainage of Copperkettle Cr, which feed into the river basin. The map reveals a structured grid of county roads, such as Co RD 20 and Co RD 19, which facilitate movement across the agricultural and grazing lands of eastern Colorado. This 2019 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks of the region, including Hay Gulch and S Fork Black Wolf Cr, illustrating how natural hydrology continues to dictate the layout of rural infrastructure and land use in this part of the state.
