2010 Map of Big Spring Creek

About this map

Big Spring Creek and its tributaries define the drainage patterns across this section of Cheyenne County, Colorado. The landscape is characterized by a sparse, grid-like network of rural transit lines, including County Road GG and County Road FF, which intersect the intermittent watercourses. The hydrology is dominated by the East Branch Spring Creek in the central portion of the map and Pass Creek in the southwest corner. This 2010 digital survey captures a region of the High Plains where modern land management is reflected in the rigid section-line road system, such as County Road E and County Road F. The absence of dense settlements highlights the rural, open-range nature of the terrain at the beginning of the 21st century.
