2013 Map of Cheyenne Wells SW

About this map

The high plains of Cheyenne County are defined here by a network of sectional roads and the industrial footprint of the Ladder Creek Oil Field. This landscape, surveyed in 2013, shows a strictly organized grid system where Co Road U and Co Road 6 frame the rural expanse. The few deviations from this geometric pattern occur along the ephemeral paths of Willow Cr in the north and Ladder Cr in the south, which cut subtle drainages across the terrain. Regional transit is anchored by Us 40 E, which bisects the quadrangle from east to west. The map provides a clear record of modern energy extraction and land management, where oil production infrastructure and local county roads like Co Road 36 and Co Road 42 serve as the primary markers of human activity in this sparsely populated portion of eastern Colorado.
