About this map

The High Plains landscape of eastern Colorado is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages that feed into the North Fork Smoky Hill River. This 1970s survey illustrates a region where water management and ranching operations are paramount, indicated by numerous wells scattered across the township and range sections. The boundary between Kit Carson County and Cheyenne County bisects the map, showing a largely rural expanse punctuated by locations such as Duncan and Mills. The complex hydrology of the area is represented by several distinct forks, including East Branch Spring Creek and Middle Fork Big Spring Creek, which carve gentle coulees through the prairie. This map provides a clear record of land use and water features in the decade before modern pivot irrigation transformed much of the local agricultural footprint.
