The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural section roads and the meandering path of Badger Cr as it flows north through the landscape. This 2013 survey reveals the quiet intersection of agriculture and energy on the border of Adams and Washington Counties. The area is notably shaped by the petroleum industry, with the Little Beaver Oil Field and Kejr Oil Field marking the eastern half of the sheet. Unlike more developed regions, this terrain is characterized by a strict geometric order of county roads, including Winview Mile Rd and Meridian Rd, which serve the isolated farmsteads and oil operations scattered across these subtle drainage basins.
