2013 Map of South Ladder Creek

About this map

The Golden Spike Oil Field stands as a primary point of interest in this section of Cheyenne County, marking the industrial footprint of energy extraction within the Great Plains. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral path of S Ladder Cr, which cuts through the high plains terrain, and a strictly organized section-line grid of rural roads. This network, including Co Highway G and Co Hwy 40, illustrates the methodical settlement and land management patterns characteristic of eastern Colorado. The map captures the intersection of traditional agricultural land divisions with modern resource development, providing a clear view of the area's geographic organization and sparse infrastructure.
