About this map

Elizabeth serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated where Gold Run and Running Creek converge. The town's infrastructure at the time is clearly marked, including an Athletic Field, Rodeo Ground, and a local Water Tank. A distinctive piece of regional history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that follows the Running Creek valley, marking the path of former rail commerce through Elbert County.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of north-flowing drainages including Dry Creek and Kiowa Creek. Local aviation is represented by the Pine View Airfield, while the presence of a Cem and various bench marks like BM 6563 provide specific points for genealogical and topographical research. The map also captures smaller industrial footprints such as a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, reflecting the local materials used for regional development.
