2019 Map of Mount Sunflower NW

About this map

N Fork Smoky Hill River anchors the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where the ephemeral drainages of Sandy Cr and Middle Beaver Cr carve subtle relief into the Kit Carson County terrain. This area of eastern Colorado is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t10s r43w and t9s r43w dictating the placement of the county road network. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural environment where section lines serve as the primary corridors for transport, including Co Rd R and Co Rd G. For those researching land use and rural development, the placement of these roads and the intermittent watercourses provide a clear picture of how water availability and legal boundaries shaped the settlement patterns of this prairie region in the early twenty-first century.
