2019 Map of Big Spring

About this map

Mount Pearl sits as a quiet landmark in the high plains of Cheyenne County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the Big Spring creek system. This 2019 survey captures the modern ranching and agricultural grid of eastern Colorado, anchored by the namesake Big Spring and the small settlement at Fort Big Spring. The map documents a complex network of waterways, including Little Spring Cr, Middle Fork Big Spring Cr, and E Fork Big Spring Cr, which carve subtle relief into the terrain. Rising above the drainages, Eureka Hill provides a distinct topographic point of reference. The region is interlaced with a strictly organized section-line road system, from Co RD DD in the north down to Co RD V in the south, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this open range country.
