2013 Map of Kanorado NW

About this map

Beaver Creek and its various tributaries define the hydrology of this High Plains landscape in northeastern Colorado. The area is characterized by a strict orthogonal grid of rural thoroughfares, such as Co Road JJ and Co Road 50, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads carve the terrain into predictable square-mile blocks, typical of the agricultural development in Kit Carson County. Watercourses like Little Beaver Cr and Bonny Cr provide the only natural deviation from this geometric order, cutting winding paths across the township and range boundaries of t007s r043w. This 2013 survey illustrates a modern rural infrastructure where the land is primarily managed for large-scale farming and ranching, evidenced by the absence of dense town sites in favor of expansive, open country.
