2016 Map of Kirk

About this map

Kirk Cem sits along the northern edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a primary landmark for local genealogy near the Yuma and Kit Carson county line. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Hell Cr and Spring Cr, which channel seasonal water toward the S Fork Republican River in the southeast. This 2016 survey documents the rectilinear pattern of the region's county road system, including Co RD 31 and Co RD NN, which partition the agricultural landscape into distinct sections. Apart from the open grounds of Idlers Field, the map illustrates a sparsely populated rural corridor where the local economy and settlement patterns are dictated by the underlying hydrology of the Republican River basin.
