1969 Map of Byers SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

West Bijou Cr and its network of ephemeral drainages define this high plains landscape at the border of Arapahoe and Elbert counties. In the late 1960s, the area was characterized by wide-open grazing land and a developing infrastructure for resource extraction, evidenced by various Gravel Pits and scattered wells. The topography is marked by significant erosion patterns, with named features like Rattlesnake Creek and Mule Gulch carving distinct paths through the terrain. Human activity is largely concentrated along transit corridors like Exmore Road and Ridge Road, alongside a prominent Pipeline that traverses the southern half of the quadrangle. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact locations of isolated infrastructure, including a Drill Hole and specific water tanks, which reveal the scattered nature of rural development during this era.
