About this map

Kit Carson serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, situated at the crossroads of Us-287 and Us-40. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Park St, W 3rd Ave, and 5th Ave, with the Kit Carson Cem located just to the north. The surrounding High Plains terrain is shaped by an intricate drainage system including the winding paths of Wild Horse Cr and Big Sandy Cr.

Geological features like Logie Lake and the distinctive Merritt Blowout provide unique landmarks for those studying the area's natural history. The map also meticulously documents the rural road network, with numbered routes like CO Road 21 and CO Road R creating a geometric pattern across the prairie, reflecting the regional land management and township structure typical of the early 21st century.
