2010 Map of South of Bethune

About this map

The High Plains of Kit Carson County are defined by a rhythmic, grid-based road network that reflects the agricultural expansion of eastern Colorado. Intersecting this orderly layout are the meandering paths of Sand Creek, Beaver Creek, and Landsman Creek, which provide the only relief from the geometric precision of the township-and-range surveying system. This 2010 topographic record highlights the transition from traditional throughfares to a more complex regional infrastructure, including north-south corridors like County Hwy 40 and east-west routes such as County Road R and County Rd G. The map documents a landscape where modern agricultural commerce relies on this extensive web of numbered county roads to connect remote farmsteads with the broader region.
