2019 Map of Mount Sunflower SW

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River and its seasonal tributaries define the high plains landscape where Kit Carson and Cheyenne Counties meet. This 2019 survey captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, where sections are partitioned by a rigorous grid of section-line roads such as Co Rd Gg and Co RD 54. The drainage patterns of Turtle Cr and Goose Cr cut subtle relief into the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network of the western Great Plains. This region remains defined by large-scale agricultural and ranching parcels, with the map recording the boundary between Kit Carson and Cheyenne Counties. The sparse infrastructure, consisting primarily of gravel connectors like Co Rd E and Co RD DD, underscores the enduringly rural character of the area near the Kansas border.
