1967 Map of Hand Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Antelope Creek and its many seasonal tributaries carve through this high-plains landscape in Bent County, where water sources defined early 20th-century life. The map reveals a cluster of community infrastructure centered around the Bethel landmark, including the Bethel Cem. This area, likely once more populated than it appears in the late 1960s, is characterized by its reliance on named springs such as Santastevens Spring, Hand Springs, and Medford Spring.
