1965 Map of Coleman Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Sleepy Hollow and the surrounding Garfield County landscape are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic relief in this mid-1960s survey. The terrain is dominated by various coulees, including the central Coleman Coulee and the uniquely named Frozen Dog Coulee, which weave through the high plains. The presence of several instances of Well labels indicates the vital importance of groundwater management for ranching and settlement in this semi-arid region. These features, along with Eckman Coulee and Red Butte Creek, show how the natural hydrology dictated the movement and land use of the era, providing a record of the geographic markers used by local residents before more modern developments altered the rural character of the area.
