2018 Map of Cheyenne Creek

About this map

The Smoky Hill River flows through the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where the boundary of Gove and Lane Counties marks a transition in the western Kansas terrain. The map reveals a drainage system defined by deeply etched seasonal watercourses, including Cheyenne Cr and the various branches of Salt Cr. This area is characterized by a high-density section-line road network, where local routes like Gage Rd and Gove A provide access across a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching environment. The convergence of W Salt Cr and E Salt Cr underscores the importance of these intermittent waterways in an arid region where the river valley and its tributaries dictate the shape of land use and property boundaries.
