1970 Map of Cabin Gulch

About this map

Running Creek carves a central path through this section of Elbert County, defining a landscape of drainage systems that include Timber Claim Gulch, Cabin Gulch, and the aptly named Whiskey Gulch. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a rural territory transitioning into the late twentieth century, where traditional land markers like the Miller Cem and several Gravel Pit sites coexist with more modern infrastructure. A notable Landing Strip and a Radio Tower indicate the increasing importance of aerial and electronic connectivity in this open terrain. For those interested in local social history, the Church Camp situated near the headwaters of the creek network provides a specific point of cultural interest. The map's fine red dashed lines reveal established fence lines, offering a glimpse into the property divisions and agricultural boundaries of the era.
