1963 Map of Beecher Island

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Beecher Island and the Arikaree River corridor define this eastern Colorado landscape, reflecting the ranching and agricultural patterns of the early 1960s. The site of the Historical Monument marks a point of deep local significance near the river, while the surrounding terrain transitions from the alluvial bottomlands to the broad reaches of Lansing Valley in the south. This area, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, shows a sparse but established network of rural landmarks, including the Lansing Valley Cem and the MK Ranch. The topography is characterized by distinct drainage features like Jacks Gulch and Sand Creek, alongside named elevations such as Peate Hill. These features, along with Whombles Meadow, illustrate the localized naming conventions used by generations of families who managed these plains before modern consolidation.
