2013 Map of Wild Horse

About this map

Wild Horse and Aroya anchor this high plains landscape in eastern Colorado, where the expansive grid of Cheyenne County meets the diagonal transit corridor of Us-287 N. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Creek, which carves a path through the prairie alongside Adobe Gulch. A network of numbered section roads, such as CO Road 8 and CO Road T, illustrates the systematic rural development of the region. For local historians, the Wild Horse Cem serves as a significant landmark of early settlement. The geography here is typical of the western plains, where small population centers like Wild Horse provided essential services along the highway and rail routes that crossed the open range.
