1969 Map of Alpine Ranch NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Landsman Creek winds through the western reaches of this High Plains landscape, carved into the Kit Carson County terrain during a period of steady ranching and agricultural operation. The survey, conducted via photogrammetry in 1968, documents a sparse but functional network of rural infrastructure, including a small Landing Strip and numerous Wells scattered across the township sections. These water sources indicate the vital necessity of groundwater for sustaining the area's agricultural life. Along the southern boundary, the ephemeral bed of Sand Creek cuts across the range, while localized industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a lone Gravel Pit located near the center of the quadrangle. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of eastern Colorado before later development, showing the section lines and unimproved roads that defined the local movement and land ownership of the era.
