2023 Map of Gladstone NW

About this map

Barela Canyon and the surrounding high plains of Union County define this modern topographic landscape. This area is characterized by significant natural drainages including Palo Blanco Creek and Barela Creek, which cut through the terrain. The map detail highlights the volcanic topography of the Don Carlos Hills in the southeast, a prominent landmark in this cattle-ranching region. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the rural transportation network, where unpaved corridors like Doncanoe Rd and Don Carlos Rd follow the natural contours of the land. The absence of dense settlements underscores the open, agricultural character of the territory during this period, showing how local access remains tied to established county roads such as Co Rd A115 and Co Rd A001.
