2010 Map of Firstview

About this map

Firstview occupies a high-plains position in Cheyenne County, defined by a rigid grid of rural infrastructure and intermittent drainages. The landscape is structured by a network of numbered thoroughfares including County Road T and County Road M, which serve the expansive agricultural tracts of the region. This 2010 survey illustrates the fundamental relationship between the sparse human footprint and the natural watercourses that break the prairie surface, such as Willow Creek in the northeast and Ladder Creek further south. The drainage of South Ladder Creek feeds into the larger system, highlighting the subtle topography that dictates the flow of water across this portion of eastern Colorado. The map reflects a modern era of land management where traditional section lines are maintained through a precise system of county roads.
