2013 Map of Bonny Reservoir SE

About this map

The High Plains borderlands where Colorado meets Kansas are defined here by a series of intermittent waterways carving through the agricultural grid. Hale Ditch and Bonny Creek dominate the northwest, while the southern reaches are marked by the complex drainage of Little Beaver Creek. This 2013 survey illustrates the precise intersection of four counties across the state line, where Yuma and Kit Carson counties in Colorado meet Cheyenne and Sherman counties in Kansas. The landscape is structured by a rigorous network of section lines and gravel routes such as CO Road 2 and CO Road 60, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System. The map provides a technical view of the region's topography, from the drainage of Battle Creek to the various farm-to-market roads that bind these rural communities together across state boundaries.
