2016 Map of East of Sevenmile Ranch

About this map

The South Fork Republican River carves a winding path through this high plains landscape on the border of East-Central Colorado. In this 2016 survey, the terrain is defined by a sparse but rigid grid of section lines and county roads, reflecting the large-scale ranching and agricultural operations typical of the region. The boundary between Lincoln Co and Kit Carson Co bisects the eastern portion of the map, illustrating how political lines were laid over the natural drainage of the Republican River basin. Access through this open country is maintained by a network of rural routes including Co RD 3e, Co RD 38, and Co RD N. The map provides a contemporary look at the land use patterns and topographical relief in the areas East of Sevenmile Ranch, where the elevation stays consistently above five thousand feet.
