1969 Map of Burlington 3 NE

About this map

Sand Creek and its seasonal tributaries define this stretch of the High Plains in Kit Carson County during the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of water wells, reflecting the intensive agricultural development and reliance on the Ogallala Aquifer for irrigation. This 1969 field survey documents the drainage patterns of Middle Beaver Creek and Sandy Creek, where the terrain begins to ripple with the characteristic breaks of the eastern Colorado plains. Along the western edge, industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pits, providing a glimpse into the local extraction needs for road building and regional infrastructure at a time when the rural landscape was being precisely gridded for ownership and land use.
