1960 Map of Bar J H Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The high plains of eastern Pueblo County are defined by a complex network of arroyos and intermittent watercourses in this 1960 field-checked survey. Central to the landscape is the meandering path of Chico Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Dry Creek, Burnt Creek, and the curiously named Tom Hollow. The map reveals the sparse ranching economy of the mid-twentieth century, dominated by established outfits like the Bar J H Ranch and May Ranch. Along the eastern edge, Black Squirrel Creek cuts through the terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that dictate land use in this arid region. This survey captures a specific moment in the rural West, documenting the relationship between scarce water sources like the isolated Spring and the positioning of ranching headquarters.
