2016 Map of Landsman Hill

About this map

Landsman Hill rises above the high plains of eastern Cheyenne County, marking a topographic high point in this sparsely settled corner of Colorado. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral winding of the Smoky Hill River, which cuts across the central portion of the sheet. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, this region shows a strictly maintained section-line grid of county roads, such as Co RD DD and Co RD 34, reflecting the area's agricultural and range management patterns. To the south, Agate Mound provides another distinctive elevation marker near smaller drainages like Cow Cr. This map documents a quiet, open landscape where the topography is shaped as much by wind and light drainage as by the few human-engineered routes that cross it.
