About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders through this portion of the High Plains, defining the drainage patterns and land use in Cheyenne County during the early 1980s. This survey, based on aerial photography from 1975, reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to resource extraction and agricultural support. The appearance of several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit indicates the diversification of the local economy beyond traditional ranching. Water management and storage are central to the area's layout, shown through the positioning of Storage Bins and a network of ephemeral streams including Big Timber Creek and Rock Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural infrastructure surrounding the outskirts of Cheyenne Wells, documenting the intersection of natural waterways and modern industry.
