2010 Map of South of Flagler

About this map

The South Fork Republican River and Sand Creek carve wandering paths through the high plains of Kit Carson County in this 2010 survey. The landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of rural corridors, including County Road R at the northern edge and County Rd G to the south. This area, located just south of the community of Flagler, illustrates the enduring spatial organization of Colorado's eastern agricultural lands, where watercourses provide the only break in the geometric regularity of the roads. The drainage patterns of the South Fork Republican River suggest the subtle topography that dictates the placement of these vital plains arteries.
