1972 Map of Lockwood Arroyo

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Bear Springs Hills and the Big Arroyo Hills dominate this high plains landscape in southern Colorado, where water is the primary architect of the terrain. The drainage system is remarkably intricate, defined by the winding course of the Lockwood Arroyo and a network of seasonal watercourses including Bear Springs Arroyo, Middle Bear Springs Arroyo, and West Bear Springs Arroyo. This 1970s survey captures a sparse, ranching-oriented environment where human intervention is limited to occasional windmills and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the topography. The presence of numerous springs and the complex arroyo systems suggest a landscape where grazing and water rights were central to local land use. Fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle mark fence lines, indicating the division of this open range into distinct parcels.
