2011 Map of Chalk Bluffs West

About this map

Chalk Bluffs and the flat-topped Simpson Mesa define the high-plains landscape of the Colorado-Wyoming border in this 2011 survey. The terrain is a network of intermittent drainages including Cow Creek, Eastman Creek, and the West Fork Willow Creek, which carve through the arid rangeland. The map reveals an infrastructure tailored to livestock and remote ranching, characterized by a high density of named water-pumping sites. These landmarks, such as North Owl Windmill, McCormick Windmill, and Prange Windmill, serve as the primary navigational anchors for the area. Transport is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including County RD-138 and County RD-128, which provide access to the various forks of Geary Creek and the surrounding grazing lands.
