About this map

The landscape of northeastern Sedgwick County, Colorado, is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the High Plains. This part of the state features the Sand Draw, a prominent topographic depression that channels seasonal moisture toward the Sand Cr Reservoir. The layout of the region follows the strict Public Land Survey System grid, which is clearly visible through the network of county roads like Co Rd 45 and Co Rd 49 that segment the townships of t10n r44w and t10n r43w. Periodic waterways such as Spring Cr and Sand Cr cut across this agricultural and ranching terrain, illustrating the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and land divisions that have persisted through generations of land use in this corner of Colorado.
