1971 Map of Bonny Reservoir SE

About this map

Beaver Creek and Battle Creek meander across this high plains landscape at the intersection of the Colorado and Kansas state lines. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a remote ranching and agricultural region defined by its complex drainage network, including the southward flows of Jaqua Creek and Grant Creek. The terrain is marked by a series of draws and ridges that illustrate the hydrology of the Missouri River Basin development area. Beyond the natural watercourses, human activity is sparsely represented by scattered wells and a single Gravel Pit in the southwest. This document serves as a precise record of the topography and land boundaries during a period of systematic western water management, capturing the rural character of the borderlands where Bonny Creek and Little Beaver Creek help shape the local geography.
