1982 Map of Cheyenne Wells NE

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through this section of the High Plains in eastern Colorado, defining a landscape marked by both historical frontier sites and modern resource extraction. This 1982 edition captures the area at a time when energy exploration was active, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole scattered across the township lines. A significant historical anchor on the map is the Old Wells (Site), located north of the river near a local spring, indicating a former point of importance in this arid environment. The terrain is further etched by the drainage of Big Timber Creek to the north, while local industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near the river valley. The map provides a clear view of the sparse but vital infrastructure of the early 1980s, from section-line roads to the specific fence lines that partitioned this ranching and oil country.
