2022 Map of North of Big Spring

About this map

N Fork Smoky Hill River flows through the southeastern corner of this High Plains landscape, where the boundary between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co is defined by a perfectly straight survey line. The area is characterized by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage systems including Landsman Cr, Little Spring Cr, and the various branches of Big Spring Creek. These waterways carve subtle relief into the terrain, creating the distinct valleys of E Fork Big Spring Cr and Middle Fork Big Spring Cr. A rigid grid of rural infrastructure connects the ranchlands, with local routes like Co RD 20 and Co RD F providing access across the township and range sections. The map illustrates the transition from the upper reaches of E Br Spring Cr in the north to the more prominent river basin in the south.
