1982 Map of Kit Carson 4 NE

About this map

South Ladder Creek flows across the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County, where the topography is defined by the gradual drainages of the Colorado plateau. The 1982 data shows a remote region primarily organized by Section, Town, and Range boundaries, such as T 15 S T 16 S. Human activity is sparse but specific to the rural economy of the early 1980s, marked by scattered Well sites and isolated infrastructure like the Storage Bins in the northwest. To the south, the wide basin of Big Sandy Creek cuts through the terrain, while evidence of local industry appears at a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet. This survey provides a precise view of the arid landscape before modern changes, documenting the exact placement of range improvements and water sources essential for plains ranching.
