About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River carves a distinctive path across this High Plains landscape, where the geography is defined by a series of intermittent drainage systems and scattered water sources. In a region where water availability dictated land use, numerous labels for Well and specific landmarks like Windrift Ranch point to the agricultural and ranching operations that sustained local families. The map also delineates the high-plains transition between Kit Carson and Cheyenne Counties, providing a clear view of the rural boundary lines established as the cattle industry and dryland farming shaped the eastern Colorado frontier. Tracing the courses of Cow Creek and Rock Creek, researchers can see the natural topography that influenced the placement of early fence lines and homesteads throughout the late twentieth century.
