About this map

The South Fork Republican River winds through this High Plains landscape, which is defined by its deep drainages and agricultural infrastructure in the late 1970s. This survey focuses on the boundary between Lincoln Co and Kit Carson Co, illustrating the remote ranching and farming character of eastern Colorado. Water resources are central to the terrain, marked by seasonal flows like Duck Creek and several isolated Springs that supported local livestock. The map provides a clear record of man-made improvements across the open range, including several Tanks and clusters of Storage Bins, reflecting the post-war development of industrial agriculture. This topography, based on aerial photography from 1973, captures the quiet transition of the prairie before modern center-pivot irrigation became more dominant in the region.
