About this map

Bordeaux serves as a focal point in this Platte County landscape, where the meandering course of Chugwater Creek defines the local topography. This 1990 revision reflects a region deeply rooted in livestock operations, evidenced by family-named landmarks like the Phillips Ranch, L D Ranch, and M Bar Ranch. The terrain transitions from the level expanses of Slater Flats toward the more complex elevations of the Goshen Hole Rim, revealing the geological margins of the area.

Water sources are vital to this high plains environment, with Chug Spring and several unnamed Springs providing essential resources. Local transport and utility corridors are established by the Slater Road and a prominent Pipeline, while secondary drainage from Antelope Creek, Hunton Creek, and Richeau Creek further carves the valley floor. The map preserves the spatial arrangement of these ranches and water features as they appeared at the close of the 20th century.
