2013 Map of South of Flagler Reservoir

About this map

High plains topography and the systematic geometry of rural infrastructure define this portion of Kit Carson County south of the interstate corridor. The landscape is primarily shaped by the intermittent drainage patterns of Sand Cr and Spring Cr, which meander through a series of gently sloping draws and basins. These natural watercourses provide a striking contrast to the rigid Public Land Survey System grid that organizes the territory into distinct townships and ranges. A dense network of local routes, including CO Road 12, CO Road 10, and CO Road 9, follows these section lines, revealing the deliberate planning of Colorado’s agricultural frontier. For those researching the history of the eastern plains, the map offers a clear view of the relationship between early 21st-century road development and the underlying terrain.
