2019 Map of Hale Ponds

About this map

The S Fork Republican River defines the lower drainage of this landscape along the Colorado and Kansas border, where irrigation and water management are central to the local geography. Evidence of early settlement and family history is preserved at Gilstrap Cem, Zion Cem, and Jaqua Cem, which are scattered across the high plains. The transition from natural watercourses to managed systems is visible through the presence of the Hale Ditch and the Hale Ponds near the state line. Topography is marked by numerous seasonal drainages like Coupe Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the terrain toward the river basin. A dense network of county roads, including Co RD NN and Co RD RR, provides access to the agricultural sections of Yuma and Cheyenne counties.
