2016 Map of Bethune

About this map

Bethune stands as a centralized hub in the eastern plains of Kit Carson County, organized around a grid that includes Pikes Peak Ave, 1st Ave, and W Third Ave. This 2016 survey illustrates the structured landscape of High Plains agriculture, where a vast network of county roads like Co RD Z and Co RD 40 segments the terrain into precise sections. The natural drainage of the region is defined by the winding paths of Sevenmile Cr and Landsman Creek, which cut across the otherwise orderly rectangular survey lines. To the southwest of the town center, Hildebrandt Airport provides a specialized landmark among the fields. This map documents the persistent layout of rural Colorado, where the intersection of Interstate 70 and local routes dictates the flow of commerce and transport through the prairie.
