About this map

Bonny Creek and Little Beaver Creek define the drainage patterns across this High Plains landscape in Kit Carson County. During the late 1960s, the terrain was characterized by a systematic network of well sites, reflecting the critical importance of water access for agriculture and livestock in this arid portion of eastern Colorado. The topography is marked by subtle draws and the shifting course of seasonal waterways, which carve low-relief valleys through the prairie. Land use is predominantly rural and agricultural, with numerous surveyed section lines and access roads connecting isolated ranching operations. The spatial distribution of Well sites across the township lines of R. 43 W. and R. 42 W. provides a clear view of how the natural geography influenced the local economy and settlement density just before the early 1970s.
