2010 Map of Sanders Ranch

About this map

Wild Horse Creek meanders through this high plains landscape in Cheyenne County, defining the drainage patterns of an area dominated by large-scale ranching and a systematic grid of section roads. The landscape is marked by the presence of Sanders Ranch, a primary focal point of settlement in this part of eastern Colorado. Minor tributaries like Bellyache Creek feed into the larger creek system, illustrating the subtle hydrology of the region. The map reveals a strictly organized infrastructure of agricultural access, where designated routes such as County Road BB and County Road Z provide the necessary links between isolated homesteads and the broader regional network. This survey serves as a clear record of land use and the persistence of the ranching economy at the start of the 21st century.
