About this map

The drainage basins of Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek dominate this section of the High Plains in Kit Carson County. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid system is realized through an extensive network of county roads including Co RD 53 and Co RD 56. These roads serve as the primary infrastructure for the sparsely distributed ranching and farming operations across townships such as t6s r43w and t7s r43w. The terrain is defined by the gentle erosion patterns of the creek beds, which provide the only significant break in the otherwise uniform plateau. This document captures the modern state of land division in eastern Colorado, showing how the original land survey system continues to dictate the movement and settlement patterns of the region well into the 21st century.
