2016 Map of Cheyenne Wells NE

About this map

Old Wells sits near the center of this high plains landscape, marking a point of human settlement in the vast agricultural grid of eastern Colorado. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Smoky Hill River in the southern portion of the quadrangle and the drainage of Big Timber Cr to the north. These watercourses provide the only significant topographic relief against the expansive sections of the Public Land Survey System, which organizes the territory into townships like t13s r44w. A network of county roads, including Co Rd 49 and Co Rd 46, follows the section lines, reflecting the enduring 19th-century land division patterns that continue to dictate movement and land use in this part of Cheyenne County.
