2016 Map of North of Big Spring

About this map

The Kit Carson and Cheyenne County line divides this high plains landscape, where the headwaters of the Smoky Hill River system begin to take shape. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including the N Fork Smoky Hill River and the various branches of Big Spring Creek. Grounded in a rigid section-line road grid, the area features numerous local routes such as Co RD 16 and Co RD F that navigate the subtle changes in elevation. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural layout of the region, showing how the land is partitioned into Townships like t11s r48w and t12s r49w. The map is an essential reference for understanding the modern hydrology and infrastructure of these eastern Colorado plains.
