2013 Map of South of Bethune

About this map

The High Plains of Kit Carson County are defined here by a rhythmic grid of agricultural transit and ephemeral waterways. In this corner of Colorado, the drainage of Landsman Creek and the meandering paths of Beaver Cr and Sand Cr break the geometric precision of the county road system. These intermittent creeks provide the primary relief in a landscape otherwise structured by long, straight sections of CO Road R and CO Road G. The map detail captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how CO Hwy 40 serves as a central spine for the dispersed farmsteads and ranchlands. This survey is particularly useful for researchers tracing land divisions and section lines across several townships, including t009s r045w and t010s r046w.
