1966 Map of Barcus Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The White River carves through the northeastern corner of this Rio Blanco County landscape, while the serpentine course of Yellow Creek dominates the western half of the terrain. The map captures a mid-1960s snapshot of resource extraction and infrastructure in rural Colorado, marked by several Drill Holes, a Gas Well, and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the center. Industrial activity is concentrated near the river, where Gravel Pits sit adjacent to the winding channel. Away from the water, the topography is defined by significant drainage systems including Pinto Gulch, Little Gulch, and Short Gulch. The southeastern corner shows the start of Alkali Flat as it meets Piceance Creek. This survey reflects the region's character as a crossroads of high-desert drainage and energy development during the mid-century period.
