1973 Map of Akron SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Surveyor Creek and Brunker Creek wind through the high plains of Washington County, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the eastern Colorado steppe during the early 1970s. This agricultural landscape is defined by its section lines and section corners, reflecting the orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System that governs much of the region's geography. To the south, the headwaters of Hell Creek emerge, further carving the rolling terrain. The map captures the quiet character of the area just after its field check in 1973, showing a network of secondary roads and section-line paths that connect the scattered farmsteads and rural holdings of this sparsely populated portion of the Great Plains.
