1894 Map of Cheyenne Wells

About this map

Cheyenne Wells serves as a vital junction in this high plains landscape, surveyed just as the frontier era was closing. The town’s prominence is tied to the Union Pacific Railroad, which cuts a straight line across the northern half of the map, linking the small settlement of Arapahoe toward the Colorado Kansas Boundary Line. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Smoky Creek and Ladder Creek, which carve intricate patterns through the open country.
