2016 Map of Wild Horse

About this map

Wild Horse and Aroya anchor this high plains landscape in eastern Colorado, where the settlement pattern follows the gentle path of Big Sandy Creek. The drainage of Adobe Gulch cuts through the western portion of the terrain, illustrating the gradual erosion characteristic of this arid region. Transportation across the territory is defined by a rectilinear grid of section roads, including Co Rd 8 and Co Rd M, which provide access to the vast ranching and agricultural plots divided by the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists and local historians, the Wild Horse Cem serves as a critical landmark for tracing early families who settled near the creek. The map reflects a moment in the mid-2010s where the infrastructure remains focused on these sparse, historically significant junctions.
