About this map

Rush Cr meanders across this high plains landscape at the border of Cheyenne Co and Kiowa Co. The terrain is characterized by a sparse, grid-like network of rural transit lines, including Co Rd A and Co Rd BB, which delineate large sections of open range and agricultural land. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern layout of the Public Land Survey System across the region, showing how section lines and county boundaries still define the movement of traffic and property in this part of eastern Colorado.

Water is the primary sculptor of the local topography, with the basin of Rush Creek providing the most significant geographic variation. The map tracks numerous secondary routes such as Co Rd 26, Co Rd Z, and Co Rd 46, which connect the disparate ranching properties and homesteads that populate the area. This level of detail offers a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 2020s.
