1968 Map of Cat Creek

About this map

Cat Creek and the surrounding drainage network of Clay Creek define this high plains landscape along the county line. The 1968 survey documents a region primarily dedicated to rural utility and ranching infrastructure, punctuated by the Springfield Pumping Station and a nearby Pipeline corridor. The presence of the Springfield Landing Strip in the southwest corner suggests the importance of aerial access in this expansive terrain. Water management and erosion are evident through the naming of several topographic features such as James Draw and Antelope Draw, while industry is represented by scattered Borrow Pits. The map also clearly delineates the border between Bent Co and Prowers Co, providing a precise look at the jurisdictional boundary during the late 1960s.
