2010 Map of Big Gulch

About this map

West Bijou Creek and its many drainage systems, including Station Gulch and Big Gulch, carve through this section of Elbert County. The landscape is defined by its rural infrastructure, where family-named landmarks like the Wiedemeyer-Brockman Cemetery provide critical touchpoints for genealogists and local historians. This area shows the intersection of livestock-supporting water resources and early industrial activity, evidenced by Maguire Reservoir, held by Maguire Dam, and the site of the Stander Mine. A network of numbered county roads, such as County Rd-73 and Wedemeyer Rd, connects these isolated homesteads and natural landmarks across the plains east of the Front Range.
