1971 Map of Bonny Reservoir South

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bonny Reservoir dominates this landscape on the eastern edge of Colorado, formed by the construction of Bonny Dam across the South Fork Republican River. The map illustrates a recreational transition in Kit Carson and Yuma counties during the early 1970s, where the Bonny State Recreation Area provides public access via a Campground, Picnic Areas, and multiple Boat Ramps. South of the reservoir, the terrain is defined by a series of drainages including Landsman Creek, Bonny Creek, and Beaver Creek, which cut through the high plains. The small settlement of Knapp sits near the western margin, while numerous wells and gravel pits scattered across the grid suggest the local agricultural and extractive economy. This survey captures the Missouri River Basin development program's impact on the local geography, documenting the intersection of water management and public leisure.
