1970 Map of Bijou

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Bijou Creek carves a path through the rolling geography of Elbert County, defining the drainage patterns and land use in this section of the High Plains. Photogrammetric methods from 1968 aerial imagery show a landscape organized around central ridges and long drainage gulches, including Mule Gulch and East Gulch. The presence of the Gair Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this sparsely settled area. Human infrastructure is subtly marked by the winding Ridge Road and a utility Pipeline crossing the northern terrain. The map also identifies several Gravel Pits, indicating localized resource extraction alongside the primary ranching or agricultural use of the land. Blue-tinted areas along the creek beds, marked as subject to controlled inundation, highlight the water management efforts near the Spillway and Riser structures.
