2016 Map of East of Rock Creek

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River meanders across this high plains landscape, defining the local drainage patterns in a region dominated by a strict sectional grid. Straddling the border between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co, this 2016 survey illustrates the persistent geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by its agricultural layout, with primary transit routes following section lines like CO Rd Gg and CO Rd E. While the terrain appears relatively flat, the delicate contour work reveals the subtle draws and rises that feed into the Smoky Hill river system. The map provides a detailed view of the modern rural infrastructure, including localized markers like CO Rd 44 and CO Rd 49, which serve as the primary conduits for the scattered farmsteads and ranchlands of eastern Colorado.
