1982 Map of Big Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Fort Big Spring (Ruins) serves as a primary historical anchor in this high plains landscape of Cheyenne County. The topography is defined by the drainage networks of Big Spring Creek and Little Spring Creek, which converge amidst the draws and ridges of eastern Colorado. Local elevations are marked by prominent points such as Eureka Hill and Mount Pearl, while the Middle Fork and East Fork of the drainage system dictate the local relief. The presence of a Landing Strip and multiple instances of a Gravel Pit suggest a landscape geared toward utility and local infrastructure. This 1982 edition, based on earlier field work, provides a detailed view of the water sources so critical to this arid region, including the eponymous Big Spring and various other Springs that once sustained travelers and early frontier outposts.
