2019 Map of Kuhns Crossing

About this map

Kuhns Crossing anchors the western edge of this Elbert County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal drainages and named gulches. The terrain is defined by the winding course of E Bijou Cr, which meanders eastward toward the county line, joined by tributaries such as Reed Springs Cr and the descriptively named Sixshooter Gulch. This modern survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching and aviation environment, centered around landmarks like Rocky Peak and the private Schantz Airstrip. The grid of county roads, including Co RD 125 and Co RD 117, provides the primary framework for the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations that persist in this corner of the Colorado plains.
