1970 Map of Kiowa

About this map

Kiowa serves as the focal point of this Elbert County landscape, situated at the junction of several drainage systems. The town layout is clearly defined, featuring the County Fairground and essential local infrastructure such as a WT and Radio Tower. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-flowing waterways, including Kiowa Creek, Wolf Creek, and Comanche Creek, which carve distinct paths through the high plains. A significant industrial presence is marked by a long Pipeline cutting diagonally across the eastern sections of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Gopher Creek and scattered springs indicate the critical role of water management in this agricultural region, where fine red dashed lines on the map trace local fence lines across the open country.
