2016 Map of Cattle Gulch

About this map

Middle Bijou Cr and Key Cr weave through this section of Elbert County, defining a landscape of drainage systems and intermittent waterways. The area is characterized by the convergence of several named topographic features, including the prominent Cattle Gulch and the smaller Water Gulch to the south. A network of rural county roads, such as Co Rd 125 and Co Rd 166, provides access to these ranch lands, following the natural contours of the terrain. The map's layout reflects the Public Land Survey System, with clear township and range boundaries including t7s r60w and t7s r59w, which are essential for property research and land patent tracing in this part of the Colorado high plains. The drainage of Wilson Creek further illustrates the complex watershed that feeds into the larger Bijou Creek system.
