2016 Map of East of Lewis Lake

About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through this section of Cheyenne County, carving a winding path through the high plains landscape. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of water sources in an arid region, with Big Spring Creek feeding into the larger drainage. The area is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural routes, including north-south connectors like Co Rd 24 and Co Rd 28, and east-west thoroughfares such as Co Rd G and Co Rd J. These roads follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, a pattern visible in the township and range divisions of t15s r47w and t16s r48w. The landscape remains focused on expansive agricultural and ranching tracts, where the relationship between the drainage of Big Sandy Creek and the surrounding tableland dictates the layout of the local infrastructure.
