2010 Map of Peconic

About this map

Peconic sits at the center of this High Plains landscape, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and the winding paths of intermittent waterways. The area is characterized by its drainage into the Middle Beaver Creek and its tributaries, including Sand Creek and Little Beaver Creek. This 2010 survey highlights the intersection of regional transportation and water management, specifically noting the C H Parks Reservoir and the C H Parks Dam in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the organized layout of Kit Carson County, where numbered routes like County Rd 50 and County Rd S create a sprawling network across the prairie. The geography illustrates the essential relationship between the dry land and the vital catchments and creek beds that supported the local ranching and farming economy at the start of the 21st century.
