1968 Map of Barrel Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail cuts a historic path across this high plains landscape in Prowers County, following the natural drainage of Granada Creek through the western section. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching territory defined by vital water sources like Barrel Spring and Blackwater Spring. The southern portion of the sheet features the Bethel Cem and the named area of Albany, providing key points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this corner of Colorado. Multiple watercourses, including North Plum Creek, Middle Plum Creek, and Wolf Creek, carve through the terrain toward North Butte, illustrating the importance of riparian corridors for survival and settlement in the semi-arid environment.
