2022 Map of Bellyache Creek

About this map

Kit Carson Co Cheyenne Co marks the primary horizontal divide across this high plains landscape, where the drainage systems of Bellyache Creek and E Br Spring Creek carve gentle depressions into the terrain. This rural expanse is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t11s r51w and t12s r50w providing the underlying structure for land ownership and agricultural development. The movement of water through seasonal channels like Sand Creek and Pass Creek dictates the local topography, while a network of section-line roads, including Co Rd F and Co Rd A, facilitates travel across the prairie. The map captures a contemporary look at the intersection of these two eastern Colorado counties, illustrating a region still deeply tied to its original survey boundaries and natural drainage patterns.
