1970 Map of Bijou SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Bijou Creek and East Bijou Creek carve a network of drainages across this Elbert County landscape, defining the local ranching and transit patterns of the late 1960s. The presence of Brittingham Ranch, complete with its own Landing Strips, illustrates the importance of private aviation in navigating this expansive territory. A cluster of infrastructure appears near the settlement of Minter, including a Radio Facility, while the Norton Cem serves as a silent point of genealogical interest along the western hills. The terrain is marked by significant features like Spring Gulch and Wilson Creek, which are connected by a system of rural routes such as Ridge Road. This topographic survey provides a detailed look at the interface between traditional livestock ranching and modern utility development in the High Plains.
