2013 Map of Rock Creek

About this map

High plains prairie and seasonal drainages define this border region between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co in eastern Colorado. The topography is largely shaped by the meandering N Fork Smoky Hill River, which cuts across the center of the sheet alongside tributary systems like Cow Cr and Rock Cr. This area remains predominantly agricultural and rural, as evidenced by the rectilinear grid of township roads such as Co Road GG and Co Road 38 that segment the landscape into sections. The only named habitation on this survey is Windrift Ranch, illustrating the vast, open character of the High Plains ranching economy during the early 21st century. Researchers can trace the legacy of the Public Land Survey System through the detailed section and township labels like t011s r045w, which underpin the region's historic land ownership patterns.
