1970 Map of Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Union Pacific railroad tracks cut across the northeastern corner of this High Plains landscape, following the course of Big Sandy Creek through the open range. The 1970 topography reveals a sparsely settled region at the boundary of Elbert and Lincoln counties, where the economy relied on water access and vast tracts of land. Small community markers like Four Corners and Storm denote the intersections and gathering points of a ranching-focused interior. Near the northern edge, the Limon Country Club represents a managed recreational space amidst the dry drainage basins of Long Creek and Long Branch. Genealogists and local historians can locate a small Cem (cemetery) and a Gravel Pit, providing precise locations for family research and industrial history in this quiet stretch of eastern Colorado.
