1970 Map of Bijou

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Bijou Creek carves a path through this section of Elbert County, defining a landscape marked by numerous drainage systems such as Station Gulch, Hay Gulch, and Willow Gulch. During the early 1970s, the small settlements of Bijou and Middle served as local points of activity within this cattle-grazing and agricultural region. The map reveals the infrastructure of the era, including a Radio Tower, a Gravel Pit, and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern terrain. Genealogy researchers will find value in the location of the Gau Cem, situated near the headwaters of Mule Gulch. The network of unimproved roads and the prominent Ridge Road reflect the rural connectivity of the High Plains before modern expansion altered the footprint of these small Colorado communities.
