2016 Map of Big Spring Creek

About this map

High plains drainage systems define this section of the Colorado borderlands, where the land transition between Kit Carson and Cheyenne counties is marked by the course of Big Spring Cr. The terrain is shaped by the subtle valleys of the E Br Spring Cr and Pass Cr, which cut through a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System. A rigid grid of rural corridors, including Co Rd A and Co Rd 10, facilitates movement across this open country, reflecting the large-scale agricultural and ranching operations of the modern era. The survey captures the intersection of several townships, including t11s r50w and t12s r49w, providing a clear look at the jurisdictional boundaries and water resources vital to the High Plains region.
