2016 Map of South of Flagler

About this map

The South Fork Republican River cuts a prominent diagonal across this section of the High Plains, carving out the primary drainage system for the surrounding Kit Carson County tablelands. In this 2016 survey, the land remains defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with county roads such as Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 3 following section lines through the township blocks of T9S, T10S, and T11S. Water is the primary sculptor of the landscape here, with the Sand Cr and Spring Cr systems creating a network of draws and intermittent drainages that interrupt the otherwise uniform agricultural and grazing blocks. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in eastern Colorado, where transportation is dictated by the intersection of natural river valleys and the man-made section road system, including routes like Co Rd N and Co Rd L.
