1979 Map of Seibert NW

About this map

Hell Creek and Buffalo Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Kit Carson County, as documented in this 1970s survey. The terrain is largely characterized by wide, open drainage basins and subtle topographic variations, typical of the region's agricultural and ranching heritage. A small cluster of activity is noted at Boren, while a standalone Storage Bin serves as a lone industrial landmark in the eastern sections of the quadrangle. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of the era, including the fine red dashed lines that indicate property boundaries and fence lines. The presence of several Well sites across the township lines of Range 50 West and Range 49 West suggests the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid portion of eastern Colorado.
