2013 Map of Flagler Reservoir

About this map

Flagler Reservoir and the winding course of the South Fork Republican River define this high plains landscape in Kit Carson County. The terrain is characterized by a high density of intermittent drainage systems, including Duck Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Sand Creek, which carve through the sectionalized prairie. A primary transportation corridor bisects the southern half of the map, where the Frontage Rd runs parallel to the interstate. Evidence of local movement across the river is found at Kipling Crossing, a specific point of interest for those studying historical transit routes or land use in this part of eastern Colorado. The map reflects a classic western township and range survey system, with a network of numbered county roads like CO Road 10 and CO Road 12 forming a rigid grid over the natural topography.
