2016 Map of Mount Sunflower SW

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River meanders across the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside Turtle Cr and Goose Cr. This 2016 survey documents a sparsely settled agricultural region where the section lines are traced by an extensive network of county roads. The prominent boundary between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co bisects the quadrangle, primarily following Co Rd Gg. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains land management pattern, where the township and range system (including t11s r43w and t12s r43w) dictates the placement of infrastructure like Co RD 50 and Co Rd E. This document is essential for understanding modern land use and drainage patterns in the rural borderlands of eastern Colorado.
