About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River flows through the southeastern corner of this eastern Colorado landscape, where the High Plains are defined by a network of drainage forks and a strict orthogonal grid of rural thoroughfares. This 2010 survey reveals a quiet, agrarian terrain shaped by ephemeral waterways including Landsman Creek and the multiple branches of Big Spring Creek.

The layout of the land is meticulously organized by county infrastructure, from County Road F in the north to County Road EE in the south. The convergence of Little Spring Creek and the river valley highlights the importance of seasonal water management in this arid region, while the prominent north-south corridor of County Road 21 serves as a primary artery for local travel through this high-altitude prairie.
