2016 Map of Arapahoe NW

About this map

Smoky Hill River winds across the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County, providing a critical water source in a region defined by its wide, open drainage patterns. The ephemeral Big Timber Cr cuts through the northern and central sections, carving subtle relief into the terrain as it trends southeast toward the river. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent section-line grid system of the rural West, with a network of maintained local routes like Co Rd Cc and Co Rd Z facilitating transit across the expansive agricultural and grazing lands. The map detail reflects the long-standing public land survey system divisions, including t12s r43w and t13s r42w, which have dictated the settlement and ownership patterns of this eastern Colorado prairie for over a century.
