2019 Map of Galatea

About this map

Galatea occupies the southeastern corner of this High Plains landscape, situated just south of the Cheyenne Co Kiowa Co line. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching region defined by vast grazing lands and seasonal water bodies. The settlement remains anchored by the Galatea Cem, a significant marker for local genealogical research, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by depressions such as Red Lake and Carson Lake. A grid of county roads, including Co Rd A and Co Rd U, provides the primary infrastructure for the area, reflecting the enduring township and range surveying system that governs this part of Colorado. The map illustrates the quiet transition between Cheyenne and Kiowa counties, where the high prairie meets the occasional relief of natural basins.
