2010 Map of Kanorado NW

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Kit Carson County is defined by its rectilinear grid and the wandering paths of intermittent watercourses. Several tributaries cross this high plains terrain, including Bonny Creek, Beaver Creek, and Little Beaver Creek, which break the otherwise uniform section lines established by a complex network of rural thoroughfares. These routes, ranging from County Road JJ in the north to County Road BB in the south, serve as the primary infrastructure for the region's agricultural operations. One of the most distinctive modern landmarks is the Silkman Farms Incorporated Airport, an isolated private airstrip situated near the confluence of local drainages. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued reliance on the section-line road system for accessing remote farmsteads and managing land use in this corner of eastern Colorado.
