2012 Map of Tea Kettle Rock

About this map

Tea Kettle Rock and the surrounding high plains of Goshen County define this rural landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the remote ranching infrastructure, anchored by the Carpenter Ranch in the southeast corner. Significant topographic features like Ninemile Hill rise above a network of county roads, including Tea Kettle Rock Rd and Co Rd-48, which facilitate movement through this sparsely populated territory. The southern edge of the sheet is marked by the Interstate Canal, a vital piece of water management infrastructure in this arid region. This survey captures a specific moment in the Western American cattle-ranching tradition, documenting the precise layout of isolated homesteads and the naming of local landmarks that serve as essential navigational points for the local community.
