2019 Map of Galatea NE

About this map

Rush Creek and its tributary Rush Cr define the central drainage of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching region organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map highlights the intersection of several townships, including t16s r51w and t16s r50w, where the undulating terrain is punctuated by seasonal watercourses and drainage basins. Local transportation is facilitated by a grid of rural routes, such as Co RD D and Co RD 3, which follow section lines across the open range. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial infrastructure emphasizes the area's continued reliance on large-scale land use and watershed management within the larger Colorado plains system.
