About this map

The South Fork Republican River meanders across this High Plains landscape, shaping a wide valley of wetlands and reservoirs in the northeastern corner of Colorado. At the boundary where Yuma and Kit Carson counties meet, the terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Landsman Cr and North Sand Creek. The area’s rural history is anchored by the Delto Cem and Spring Valley Cem, serving the scattered homesteads that utilize the intricate network of county roads. Human intervention in this arid environment is evident in the Kleweno Reservoir and several smaller catchments designed to manage seasonal water flow through Dry Gulch. This survey captures the specialized land management of the early twenty-first century, showing the precise township and range divisions that have dictated settlement patterns since the nineteenth century.
