1970 Map of Cabin Gulch

About this map

Running Creek and its associated bottomlands form the central axis of this Elbert County landscape, where the topography transitions from high, open plateaus into a series of deeply carved drainage systems. The presence of the Miller Cem and a Church Camp suggests established rural social hubs that persisted into the late 20th century. This 1970s era documentation, with photogrammetric revisions, reveals a shift toward modern utility and recreation, noted by the inclusion of a Landing Strip, a Radio Tower, and an extensive Pipeline cutting across the eastern sections. Water management and drainage are critical themes here, illustrated by the naming of various localized features such as Whiskey Gulch, Gold Creek, and Hay Gulch, which define the rugged character of the ranching and agricultural country south of Watkins and Parker.
