2013 Map of Big Spring

About this map

Fort Big Spring stands as a central historical reference point in this expanse of Cheyenne County, situated where the Middle Fork Big Spring Cr and E Fork Big Spring Cr converge. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with Big Spring Cr and Little Spring Cr carving subtle paths across the high plains. Elevation changes are marked by distinct rises such as Mount Pearl and Eureka Hill, providing topographic variation in an area otherwise dominated by a rigid grid of rural roads. A series of numbered and lettered routes, including Co-59 and CO Road Z, partition the territory into large sections, reflecting the organized land management of the early 21st century. This survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made infrastructure in a sparsely populated agricultural region.
