Ponoeohe

Ponoeohe, “Dry Creek” in Cheyenne, is Sand Creek on the eastern Colorado plains. The stream crosses open grassland toward the Arkansas River, often carrying little water in its sandy bed. The Cheyenne and Arapaho moved through this plains country, following bison and camping along the watercourses. The creek formed part of a wider network of seasonal routes between the Arkansas valley and the country to the north.
