2019 Map of Bonny Reservoir SE

About this map

The High Plains landscape at the intersection of Colorado and Kansas is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Bonny Creek and Battle Cr. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching region where the boundaries of Yuma, Kit Carson, Cheyenne, and Sherman counties meet. The terrain is marked by the distinctive section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Co RD 1 and Co RD 80. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Little Beaver Cr and Beaver Creek meander through the draws, indicating the critical role of surface water in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, from cattle tanks to the grid of unpaved roads that connect isolated farmsteads across the state line.
