2013 Map of Alpine Ranch SW

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River courses across the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape, marking a distinct drainage divide in the eastern Colorado prairie. This 2013 survey documents a remote section of the border between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co, where the land is defined by a sparse, geometric grid of rural routes such as Co Road 23 and Co Road F. To the north, the terrain is shaped by the headwaters and seasonal flows of Landsman Cr and its tributary, S Fork Landsman Cr. The map illustrates a modern ranching landscape where topographical contours reveal the subtle draws and rises of the open range, centered around the Public Land Survey System divisions of T011S and T012S.
