About this map

Alfred Camp Spring sits in the northeastern reaches of this High Plains landscape, serving as a rare named water source in a region defined by ephemeral drainages. The terrain is etched by the seasonal paths of Wild Horse Creek, Big Spring Creek, and Bellyache Creek, which together illustrate the natural irrigation patterns of Cheyenne County. A strict grid of county roads, including Co RD 12 and Co RD Z, reveals the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System, dividing the territory into the townships of t12s r50w, t12s r49w, t13s r50w, and t13s r49w. This sparse network of roads and waterways reflects a remote agricultural and ranching environment where life revolves around reliable water points and section-line access.
