2016 Map of Arapahoe NE

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across this High Plains landscape, marking a vital watercourse in a region defined by its wide, open drainage systems. This 2016 survey documents the precise intersection of the Colorado-Kansas border, where Cheyenne and Wallace Counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of subtle draws and seasonal streambeds, including Big Timber Creek and Willow Cr, which carve through the shortgrass prairie. The human imprint is visible primarily through a strict grid of section lines and gravel tracks like Tumbleweed Rd and Nighthawk Rd. This map serves as a detailed record of the township and range system at work, showing how transportation routes like Co RD 57 and Outpost Rd have been adapted to the winding path of the river valley.
