1968 Map of Gobblers Knob

About this map

The Granada Santa Fe Wagon Trail cuts across the southeastern landscape, providing a clear window into the historic transportation routes of Prowers County during the late 1960s. This drainage-rich area is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Horse Creek, North Mule Creek, and South Mule Creek, which carve through the high plains terrain. The most prominent topographic landmark is Gobblers Knob, which stands as a sentinel over the surrounding plains. The map reveals a sparse but functional landscape of ranching and utility, with isolated infrastructure like a Well and a primitive Trail marking the human footprint. The course of Wolf Creek and Middle Plum Cr further illustrate the natural irrigation patterns of this high-altitude cattle country.
