About this map

Rush Creek meanders through the high plains of Cheyenne County, defining the drainage patterns in this corner of Colorado. This landscape is organized by a strict Public Land Survey System grid, as evidenced by the township and range boundaries of t016s r051w and t016s r050w. The terrain is shaped by the gentle contours surrounding the creek's path and its smaller tributary, Rush Cr.

A network of rural roads, including CO Road 8 and CO Road B, provides the primary infrastructure for this agricultural region. The prevalence of numbered county roads like CO Road J and CO Road 5 underscores the systematic settlement and land management of the area. This 2013 survey serves as a clear record of the rural landscape where the natural curvature of the waterways contrasts with the geometric precision of the Colorado plains.
