1978 Map of Kutch NW

About this map

Mustang Creek and Antelope Creek converge in this high plains landscape of Elbert County, defining a region characterized by wide drainage basins and scattered agricultural infrastructure. This 1970s survey documents a rural environment where water is the primary arbiter of settlement, evidenced by the numerous marked Springs and Wells that dot the terrain. The presence of Mountain View Cem in the northeast corner serves as a significant marker for local genealogists, while a solitary Silo and several Gravel Pits indicate the localized ranching and resource extraction economy. The map traces the intricate dendritic patterns of several waterways, including Horse Creek, Adobe Creek, and Little Horse Creek, which carve through the plains. This detailed topographic record preserves the locations of early property improvements and natural water sources before modern changes altered the local ranching footprint.
