1891 Map of Higbee

USGS Topo · Published 1891

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a winding path through the high plains of Southeast Colorado in this late nineteenth-century topographic study. Settlement is sparse, represented by the small outpost of Higbee and a solitary Ranch located at the river's bend. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and deep incisions like Smith Canon and Anderson Canon, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the semi-arid high desert.
