1969 Map of East Of Rock Creek

About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River meanders across this High Plains landscape, carving a distinct drainage pattern through the arid terrain of eastern Colorado. This late 1960s survey, updated with mid-1980s data, illustrates a region defined by agricultural utility and resource extraction. Numerous wells are scattered throughout the sections, indicating the importance of subterranean water or mineral rights in this high-altitude prairie environment. The map documents the political boundary between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co, providing a clear record of land division and ownership patterns for the era. A prominent Pipeline traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the infrastructure required to move resources across this open country.
