2013 Map of Galatea

About this map

Galatea sits along the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, situated just north of Co-96. The small settlement is defined by its agricultural grid and its proximity to the Galatea Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this portion of Cheyenne County. The terrain is characterized by broad basins and ephemeral water bodies, most notably Carson Lake in the northeast and Red Lake near the center of the sheet. The map documents the boundary between Cheyenne County and Kiowa County, marked by CO Road A. A precise network of rural routes, including CO Road 27 and CO Road Z, connects the isolated farmsteads and sections of this prairie environment, illustrating the enduring township and range system that dictates the region's movement and land use.
