2013 Map of North of Brandon

About this map

The Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site dominates the western portion of this landscape, marking a site of immense historical significance within the high plains of eastern Colorado. This 2013 survey reflects a terrain defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with expansive townships such as t017s r045w and t017s r044w partitioned by a grid of rural routes. The infrastructure is characterized by long, straight sections of local roads like Co Road 59 and Co Road Z, which support the agricultural and ranching operations of the region. A localized center of activity is noted at the Scherler Private Airstrip near the center of the sheet, providing a modern transport link in a remote area otherwise served by the county road network. The map captures the meeting of Cheyenne County and Kiowa County, highlighting how political and property boundaries shaped the development of this prairie environment.
