2019 Map of Cheyenne Wells SW

About this map

Willow Cr and Ladder Cr wind through this high plains landscape in Cheyenne County, where the terrain is organized by an orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System. This 2019 survey reflects the rural character of the region, defined by expansive sections like t14s r45w and t15s r45w. The drainage patterns of the ephemeral creeks dictate the subtle contours of the land, providing a stark contrast to the straight-line reliability of the county road network. Transportation is primarily facilitated by a series of maintained routes including Co Rd U and Co Rd T, which navigate the vast open spaces between seasonal watercourses. For those studying the geographic development of eastern Colorado, these markers reveal how the modern infrastructure adheres to the original township and range divisions established over a century ago.
