2010 Map of Cheyenne Wells NE

About this map

Old Wells sits near the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, situated along a section of the Smoky Hill River that cuts through the Cheyenne County terrain. The survey reflects a region defined by its agricultural grid and subterranean resources, specifically the Cheyenne Oil Field which occupies the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are dominated by the winding paths of the river and Big Timber Creek, which meanders through the northern and eastern sections. The road network follows a strict rectilinear pattern, with long-distance corridors like County Road Z and County Road V connecting the isolated ranchlands. This 2010 snapshot illustrates the persistent intersection of energy extraction and cattle country in eastern Colorado.
