1966 Map of Durkee Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The high plains borderland between Prowers County and Hamilton County is the focus of this mid-1960s study, documenting the transition between Colorado and Kansas. The landscape is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of Bear Creek, which is joined by North Bear Creek and Dry Creek as it winds eastward. This is an arid ranching environment where water access is the primary marker of human activity, evidenced by numerous scattered Wells and a lone Well site that supported local operations. Near the center of the sheet, the Garder Cem stands as a solitary genealogical landmark, indicating early settlement patterns in a region where few structures survived the shifts of twentieth-century land use.
