Planning a hunt near Cheyenne Wells? The Cheyenne County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this county guide: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission, at least around Kit Carson.
Building your Cheyenne County hunting map
For acreage around Cheyenne Wells, Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes the public-land maps, along with seasons and regulations.
The viewer Cheyenne County publishes
Begin with the Cheyenne County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Kit Carson to Cheyenne Wells. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Kit Carson too. In and around Kit Carson, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Backing up the map with records
If the land is near Cheyenne Wells, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk and Recorder. Long-held tracts around Wild Horse can trace back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Cheyenne Wells, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Arapahoe and its lines is a good backup.
Who owns the ground
Parcel lines are approximate, so stay well inside them near Kit Carson; watch for posted signs and boundary paint where states use them.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Wild Horse, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Asking for permission
Out toward Cheyenne Wells, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Cheyenne Wells go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Wild Horse are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
