About this map

Gustave serves as the focal point of this remote corner of Harding County, where the plains meet the prominent elevations of the West Short Pine Hills. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the S Fork Moreau River and Fortyeight Mile Cr, which cut through the high prairie. Local history is anchored at the Gustave Cem, while the rugged geography of the northwest is dominated by the looming presence of Harding Peak.

The map reveals a landscape managed by section lines and ranch roads, with CO Hwy 752 and Collins Rd providing the primary transit routes. Notable water sources such as Split Pine Spring and named drainages like Sheep Draw and Sawmill Gulch highlight the importance of water management in this arid grazing country. The survey also clearly delineates the township and range boundaries, including t16n r1e and t15n r2e, which have governed land division in the region since settlement.
