2019 Map of Sevenmile Ranch

About this map

S Fork Republican River winds through the eastern plains of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of this high-altitude landscape. The namesake Sevenmile Ranch serves as a primary point of human settlement in a region dominated by wide-open grazing land and intermittent watercourses. Several tributaries, including Sevenmile Cr, W Sevenmile Cr, and Buffalo Cr, carve shallow valleys across the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network that supports ranching operations in this part of Colorado. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD 41 and Co RD 2w, provides the only overland access between the isolated ranch sites and the state highway system. The map documents a landscape where land use is dictated by the availability of water, centered around the seasonal flow of Coon Cr and its neighboring streams.
