2022 Map of Alpine Ranch SW

About this map

Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co meet in this expansive section of the High Plains, where the drainage patterns of the N Fork Smoky Hill River and its tributaries dictate the landscape's character. The map illustrates a remote grazing or agricultural region structured by a rigid section-line road network, including Co Rd 23 and Co Rd 29. This 2022 survey detail shows how modern land use persists in a corner of Colorado where water is the primary geographic anchor. The winding courses of Landsman Cr and S Fork Landsman Cr cut across the gridded landscape, creating the only significant relief in an area otherwise defined by straight-line county boundaries and rural access roads like Co Rd F and Co Rd A.
