1968 Map of Cat Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bent Co Prowers Co boundary lines bisect this late-1960s topographic study, illustrating the drainage patterns of the High Plains before modern agricultural shifts. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Willow Creek, which flows northward through the center of the sheet, supported by the localized water source at Willow Springs. Further east, the terrain is carved by the intermittent flows of East Dry Creek and Clay Creek, reflecting a semi-arid environment where water access dictated land use. This survey captures a moment when the rural divide between Bent and Prowers counties remained largely dominated by natural contours and drainage basins, with few man-made developments apart from the section lines and isolated springs that served local livestock and early settlers.
