About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River meanders across this High Plains landscape, marking a significant drainage route in the eastern Colorado territory. This 1969 survey, later updated with mid-1980s data, documents the sparsely populated border region between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co. The terrain is defined by a heavy concentration of several dozen industrial Well sites, reflecting the intensive subsurface exploration of the era. A prominent Pipeline cuts through the southern portion of the map, illustrating the infrastructure required to transport resources from these remote fields to larger distribution networks. Beyond the river and its tributaries, the map reveals a meticulously surveyed grid of land sections typical of the western plains, where ranching and resource extraction coexist.
