1973 Map of Antelope Creek East

About this map

The High Plains of Washington County, Colorado, are defined by a sparse network of seasonal drainages and scattered agricultural landmarks. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Buck Creek, Hell Creek, and Antelope Creek, which carve subtle depressions into the arid landscape. This 1970s survey captures the region's isolated rural character, where large sections of land are delineated by fence lines and section boundaries. A central point of local historical interest is the Elba Cem, a quiet site of remembrance situated near the township line between T 1 S and T 2 S. The presence of a Gravel Pit suggests the localized extraction of materials used for maintaining the area's unpaved road network, reflecting the practical needs of this remote ranching and farming community.
