About this map

The high plains along the boundary of Kit Carson Co Cheyenne Co are defined by the winding drainages of the North Fork Smoky Hill River, which cuts across the central landscape. This 1960s survey, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a terrain shaped by water and ranching, with Windrift Ranch serving as a primary named landmark in a region characterized by wide-open cattle country. Several ephemeral waterways, including Cow Creek and Rock Creek, thread through the topography, illustrating the drainage patterns that dominate this portion of eastern Colorado. The presence of a long-distance Pipeline and scattered Well sites indicates the integration of energy infrastructure into the traditional agricultural landscape during the latter half of the twentieth century.
