1970 Map of Kiowa NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Kiowa Creek and Wolf Creek carve a northern path through this section of Elbert County, defining a landscape of drainages and intermittent water sources. The map provides a detailed look at rural land use during the 1970s, where the infrastructure of energy and agriculture is evident through a long Pipeline and scattered Oil Wells. Local history is anchored at the Ebenezer Cem, which sits near the junction of several drainage tributaries. Evidence of small-scale industrial activity appears in several Sandpits along the creek beds, while the presence of named Springs highlights the importance of water management in this high-plains environment. The survey also captures the fine network of fence lines, noted in purple during the late-seventies revision, revealing the precise boundaries of grazing and property divisions that shaped the region's ranching identity.
