About this map

The intersection of Kit Carson, Washington, and Yuma counties defines this prairie landscape in Eastern Colorado. The terrain is characterized by a high-plains grid system, where the surveyor's precision is visible in the alignment of section lines and the rectangular network of rural routes. Smit Cem, located in the southeastern quadrant near Co Rd 19 and Co Rd Ll, serves as a localized focal point for genealogical interest in an area otherwise dominated by open range and agricultural parcels. The boundary between Washington and Yuma counties runs vertically through the center, illustrating how modern political divisions overlay the natural contours of the land. This survey provides an essential view of the sparse infrastructure and land-management patterns common to the High Plains during the early twenty-first century.
