2022 Map of Cattle Gulch

About this map

Middle Bijou Cr and its various tributaries define this section of Elbert County, where the high plains landscape is carved by seasonal drainage systems. The northern reaches are marked by the confluence of Middle Bijou Cr and Key Cr, while the southern terrain is shaped by the deeper incisions of Cattle Gulch and Water Gulch. This modern survey illustrates the persistent ranching and agricultural framework of the region, anchored by a sparse network of county roads including Co RD 166 and Co RD 125 that navigate the undulating topography. Local water management is evident in the presence of the Frank Ehman Detention Reservoir Number 2, a specific landmark that highlights the importance of controlled irrigation and flood prevention in this arid environment. The map provides a clear view of the township and range grid, showing how the land remains partitioned into large sections such as t7s r60w, maintaining the rural character of the area.
