2015 Map of South of Crosby Creek

About this map

Little Beaver Creek and its complex network of tributaries carve through this high plains landscape at the border of Cheyenne County and Sherman County. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by the natural drainage of intermittent streams like Battle Creek and Crosby Creek, which stand in stark contrast to the rigid, geometric grid of the county road system. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural region where section lines dictate the placement of thoroughfares such as Co RD 80 and Co RD 7. These paths navigate the undulating breaks and draws of the Beaver Creek watershed, illustrating the persistence of rural land divisions in the modern era.
