1970 Map of Kiowa NW

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Kiowa Creek and its tributaries, Dry Creek and Wolf Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Elbert County landscape during the late twentieth century. The map reveals a transition in rural land use, where traditional ranching infrastructure like a Corral and established sites such as Ebenezer Cem exist alongside modern developments. These newer layers, including an extensive Pipeline, a remote Landing Strip, and several Oil Wells, suggest the increasing importance of energy and infrastructure in the High Plains. The small settlement of Whitehead and a local Fire Station serve as focal points for the dispersed community, while County Road 154 provides a primary link through the terrain. This survey, updated with revisions from 1988, illustrates how the eastern Colorado plains maintained their open character while integrating industrial and aviation features into the existing agricultural fabric.
