2013 Map of Mount Sunflower SW

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River meanders through the northern portion of this high-plains landscape, carving a subtle valley across the border between Kit Carson and Cheyenne counties. This 2013 survey reveals a sparsely populated agricultural region defined by a precise grid of rural routes, including Co Road GG and Co Road 54. Near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Beverage Ranch stands as a notable landmark in a territory largely shaped by the drainage patterns of Turtle Cr and Goose Cr. The map captures the infrastructure of modern ranching and farming in Eastern Colorado, where the Public Land Survey System has established a rigid framework of sections and townships across the drainage basins of the Smoky Hill River system.
