1892 Map of Cheyenne Wells

About this map

Cheyenne Wells serves as a central hub on the High Plains, situated at a critical junction of early commerce and transportation. This late 19th-century landscape is defined by the Union Pacific Railroad, which cuts a straight line through Cheyenne County, passing through the small station at Arapahoe. The map illustrates a network of wagon roads and tracks radiating from the railway, connecting isolated outposts like Water Valley to the iron rail.
