About this map

Running Creek meanders through this portion of Elbert County, carving a landscape defined by prominent drainage channels and gulches. The drainage network is dense, featuring named terrain such as Whiskey Gulch, Cabin Gulch, and Timber Claim Gulch, which reflect the early resource-based history of the area. Modern residential expansion is visible at Ponderosa Park, where a dense network of suburban roads like Vista Ridge Rd and Deer Creek Dr contrasts with the large rural parcels and section lines that dominate the surrounding territory.

Genealogists and local historians can find site-specific landmarks including the Miller Cem located near the banks of Running Creek. Aviation and infrastructure are represented by the Yukon Airport and the Stroh Erosion Control Reservoir on the eastern side of the quadrangle. The map documents the transition of this Colorado high plains region from traditional ranching and timber claims toward contemporary residential development.
