1969 Map of Mount Sunflower

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Mount Sunflower defines the topography of this High Plains landscape where the borders of Colorado and Kansas meet. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this area is characterized by the intermittent drainage of Turtle Creek and Goose Creek, which carve subtle valleys across the plateau. The settlement of Hitchcock represents a small human footprint in a region dominated by ranching and agricultural operations. Numerous scattered Wells are documented across the terrain, illustrating the vital role of groundwater management for the rural population and livestock in this semi-arid environment. The map captures a moment in time before modern infrastructure altered the landscape, preserving the original boundary lines between Kit Carson, Cheyenne, and Wallace counties.
