About this map

The county line between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co divides this rural Colorado landscape as it appeared in the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Sand Creek in the northwest and East Branch Spring Creek crossing through the central sections. This survey provides a precise look at the arid high plains before modern intensive development, showing a sparse infrastructure of scattered Well sites and livestock watering points such as Tank and various locations marked simply as Spr or Spring. The hydrology is further detailed by the presence of Bellyache Creek and Pass Creek, illustrating how water resources dictated the layout of this open country and its jurisdictional boundaries.
