1979 Map of Alpine Ranch SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

South Fork Landsman Creek meanders through the northern plains of this High Plains quadrangle, illustrating the drainage patterns of the eastern Colorado steppe during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and resource-extraction character, marked by a scattering of wells and a small Gravel Pit in the northern reaches. This 1979 edition highlights the administrative transition between the High Plains counties, following the east-west boundary of Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co. In the south, the North Fork Smoky Hill River carves a distinct path across the terrain, showing the vital role of these seasonal watercourses in an arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the section-line roads and fenced boundaries that shaped the rural land use and ranching history of the region prior to modern industrial shifts.
