About this map

Rattlesnake Creek and West Bijou Cr define the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The area is characterized by a network of intermittent watercourses, including Hay Gulch, Mule Gulch, and Willow Gulch, which cut through the terrain. Human infrastructure is primarily oriented toward resource management and transport, evidenced by the presence of a Pipeline and several Gravel Pits concentrated near the border between Arapahoe County and Elbert County.
