1970 Map of Cattle Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Bijou Creek and its neighboring drainage systems define this section of the High Plains on the border of Elbert and Arapahoe Counties. The landscape is dominated by a series of north-south running seasonal watercourses, including Wilson Creek, Cattle Gulch, and Keg Creek, which carve through the undulating prairie terrain. In 1970, this area remained primarily agricultural and open range, characterized by large land sections and a sparse network of unimproved roads. Traces of utility and industrial infrastructure are evident in the diagonal Pipeline crossing the western hills and several Gravel Pits located near the streambeds. The map captures the quiet rural character of the region before significant modern development, showing the subtle topographic variations between the East Bijou Creek and Bland Creek drainages.
