2013 Map of East of Lewis Lake

About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through the arid plains of Cheyenne County, creating a distinct riparian corridor through the high-plains landscape. This part of eastern Colorado is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural routes, including CO Road K and CO Road B, which facilitate movement between sparse agricultural holdings. The intersection of Big Spring Creek and the larger Big Sandy drainage highlights the critical role of intermittent water sources in this environment. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including Township 15 South, Range 47 West, illustrating how the land was partitioned for homesteading and grazing. For researchers, this document provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and the network of county roads that continue to serve as the primary infrastructure for this remote agricultural region.
