1969 Map of Burlington 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Beloit Cem serves as a quiet landmark on this high plains landscape of Kit Carson County, surveyed just before the 1970s. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Landsman Creek, Beaver Creek, and Sand Creek, which cut through the open country and organize the placement of the area's few developed features. In this agricultural region, the map records the locations of numerous water wells and a Gravel Pit, illustrating the vital role of local resource extraction and groundwater management in sustaining the rural economy. The presence of fine red dashed lines indicating fence lines suggests a landscape dominated by large-scale ranching or farming divisions, where boundary markers and natural creek beds were the primary orienting points for residents and land managers during this era.
