2018 Map of Henkle Canyon

About this map

The S Fork Republican River cuts across the northwest corner of this Cheyenne County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns that have carved a series of named ravines into the High Plains. These topographic breaks, including Henkle Canyon, Sleepy Canyon, and Devils Canyon, provide significant relief in an otherwise regular grid of section lines and county roads. The map reveals how the modern transportation network, represented by routes such as Co RD DD and Co RD 24, largely follows the rectangular Public Land Survey System, occasionally deviating to navigate the winding course of the river or the deep incisions of Wolfe Canyon and Sawyer Canyon in the southeast.
