1970 Map of Kiowa NW

About this map

Ebenezer Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this high plains landscape of Elbert County, situated between the north-flowing drainages of Kiowa Creek and Wolf Creek. The area's mid-century ranching and agricultural character is defined by sparse settlements like Whitehead and the presence of localized industrial activity, including a Sandpit and scattered Oil Wells. The terrain is deeply etched by seasonal watercourses such as Dry Creek and several unnamed springs, which dictate the placement of early road networks and property lines. A major Pipeline cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, reflecting the energy infrastructure development that integrated this rural Colorado region into the broader state economy during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
