About this map

Wareland sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, situated near the intersection of several county routes including Co RD 45. The area is defined by a series of drainage systems that carve through the terrain, most notably the seasonal flows of Sand Cr and Wild Horse Cr. The topography is marked by distinct geological depressions and water-cut features such as Folger Gulch and Aroya Gulch, which illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the Colorado prairie.

A complex of county boundaries meets here, with the intersection of the Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Cheyenne County lines located south of the Bledsoe Ranch. This region reflects a classic western ranching layout, where large tracts of land are organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by labels for t11s r52w and t12s r51w. To the south, Adobe Gulch further characterizes the drainage network that defines the local geography.
