2019 Map of Big Gulch

About this map

Wiedemeyer-Brockman Cem serves as a small but vital genealogical landmark in this section of Elbert County, situated near the headwaters of Station Gulch. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns typical of the Colorado plains, where West Bijou Creek and its various tributaries like Spring Br carve distinct paths through the high prairie. The map reveals a rural network of county roads, such as Co RD 77 and Wedemeyer RD, that connect family ranchlands and agricultural holdings. Of particular interest is the Bijou Bottom Strip and the Maguire Reservoir, which indicate localized efforts to manage water resources in an environment shaped by seasonal flows. This 21st-century survey documents the persistent grid of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how historical township boundaries like t8s r62w continue to organize the modern rural landscape.
