About this map

White Woman Creek meanders through the heart of this high plains landscape at the border of Colorado and Kansas in the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by broad drainage patterns and intermittent water features, including a small Cem and a Gravel Pit that mark the local human activity and industry of the era. The area is intersected by several county and state boundaries, including the line between Cheyenne County and Kiowa County and the intersection of Kiowa and Greeley County. To the east, the Colony settlement appears near the Kansas state line, illustrating the sparse but organized land use of this prairie region. This survey, conducted in cooperation with State of Kansas agencies, provides a clear view of the section lines and topography before more modern development altered the rural landscape.
