1973 Map of Last Chance SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Middlemist Creek and Beaver Creek carve through this high plains landscape at a unique geopolitical intersection where four Colorado counties meet. In the early 1970s, the terrain is dominated by the sprawling boundaries of Arapahoe, Washington, Elbert, and Lincoln counties. The map captures a moment in rural agricultural life, centered on the Brooks Ranch and the locality of Brooks. Unlike more developed regions, the map highlights the sparse infrastructure of the era, such as a solitary Power line corridor, which underscores the isolation of these eastern plains. This survey provides genealogists and land researchers a precise view of property lines and ranch locations before modern consolidation changed the rural footprint of the region.
