2015 Map of Mount Sunflower

About this map

Mt Sunflower stands as the primary landmark on this High Plains landscape, situated along the border where Colorado and Kansas meet. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Goose Creek, Turtle Creek, and Willow Creek, which carve subtle valleys across the expansive grasslands of Wallace and Cheyenne Counties. A network of rural section-line roads, such as Co RD 59 and Co RD B, facilitates travel through this remote agricultural region. The map provides a detailed look at the 2015 layout of these townships, revealing the intersections of county lines and range boundaries that have organized this territory since the early days of settlement. The placement of modern local routes like Xpressway Rd and Crimson Cloud Rd illustrates the continued use of this landscape for ranching and transit in the 21st century.
