2019 Map of Cat Creek

About this map

The high plains of Southeast Colorado are defined by a network of drainage systems that carve through the landscape along the Bent and Prowers county line. The namesake Cat Creek winds through the northern and central sections, while the south is dominated by the converging flows of West Clay Creek and East Clay Creek. This terrain, mapped in the modern era, shows a sparse but organized grid of rural county roads such as Co RD S and Co RD L that navigate the natural depressions of Antelope Draw and James Draw. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t25s r47w and t26s r47w providing a framework for the agricultural and ranching lands that define this region.
