2010 Map of Leader SW

About this map

West Bijou Creek and its many meandering tributaries define the landscape of this eastern Adams County region. The map captures a transition in rural land use, where established agricultural operations like the Staple D Ranch, Munson Ranch, and Bigger Ranch occupy the sprawling drainage basins of the Bijou system. A notable concentration of named ranching infrastructure suggests a long-standing history of cattle or dryland farming, supported by water features such as the Hopewell Ditch and the Sherman Ranch Slough.
