2015 Map of Crosby Creek

About this map

S Fork Republican River defines the drainage of this Cheyenne County landscape, joined by tributary waters of Battle Cr and Crosby Cr. The terrain is etched with the section-line grid of the Public Land Survey System, a hallmark of the High Plains agricultural layout. Local genealogy and settlement history are anchored by the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cem in the northwest and the Battle Creek Cem situated further south near the creek that shares its name. While mostly composed of open ranch or farmland, the area is connected by a dense network of county roads, including Co RD 7 and the descriptive River Rd, which traces the valley of the Republican River. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of a long-established rural community where the infrastructure of the T3S through T5S townships remains remarkably consistent with historical land use patterns.
