1969 Map of Kanorado NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Little Beaver Creek and Bonny Creek carve distinct drainages through this High Plains landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. Located along the Colorado-Kansas State Line, the area displays a sparse settlement pattern dominated by the agricultural and resource needs of the era. Numerous points marked simply as Well are scattered across the terrain, indicating the vital importance of groundwater management in Kit Carson County. The map provides a clear look at the section lines and rural road networks that structured life in this border region, showing the intersection of natural watercourses with the rigid geometry of the public land survey system. This survey captures a moment before modern intensive development, preserving the exact locations of rural infrastructure used by local ranching and farming families.
