1970 Map of Bijou Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bijou Basin Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this 1970 landscape, situated near the western edge of the Bijou Basin. The terrain is defined by the significant drainage patterns of West Bijou Creek and Comanche Creek, which carve through the high plains of the Elbert Co and El Paso Co border. While primarily an agricultural or open landscape, the map reveals early industrial activity through scattered infrastructure like the Oil Well, several Drill Hole sites, and a Gravel Pit. The presence of these resource extraction points alongside a solitary Knob illustrates the varied economic and geological character of this region of Colorado as it transitioned through the mid-century.
