1979 Map of Alpine Ranch NW

About this map

Landsman Creek and its southern tributaries define this high plains landscape in eastern Colorado, where the topography is shaped by a network of intermittent watercourses. The 1970s land use is characterized by a sparse, grid-based infrastructure of section lines and fence boundaries, typical of large-scale ranching operations. Significant drainage features like Spring Creek and the East Branch Spring Creek move through the undulating terrain, while a high-pressure Pipeline cuts diagonally across the southeastern corner. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit in the northeast, providing a look at the localized resource extraction required to maintain the region's rural road network during this era of Kit Carson County history.
