2022 Map of Gilpin

About this map

Purgatoire River meanders across the northwest corner of this high plains landscape, while the small settlement of Gilpin sits centered near Ninemile Hill. This 2022 survey captures the agricultural and topographical character of Bent County, where name-bearing landmarks like Heinan Flats and Getchel Hill indicate the area's long-standing family associations. The local drainage and irrigation network is represented by Rule Cr, Penrose Draw, and the Eagle Rock Ditch, reflecting the managed water resources essential to this arid region. The map provides a clear record of the rural road system, including Co RD 13 and Co RD Z, which grid the open terrain between varied elevations like Smith Draw.
