2016 Map of Bellyache Creek

About this map

Bellyache Creek winds through the high plains of eastern Colorado, defining the drainage patterns of this rural landscape where Kit Carson and Cheyenne counties meet. This 2016 survey illustrates a strictly organized grid of sections and county roads, such as Co Rd FF and Co Rd B, which segment the terrain into precise agricultural and grazing units. The land is punctuated by intermittent watercourses like Sand Cr and East Br Spring Cr, which reveal the subtle topographical shifts of the High Plains. While largely devoid of concentrated town sites, the map provides an exacting look at the infrastructure of the American West, where the surveyor's lines and section boundaries like t12s r51w dictate the movement of roads and the division of property across the vast plains.
