1968 Map of Long Point

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Roan Creek Community Center serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of western Colorado, where deep gulches and high ridges dictate the pattern of settlement. This 1968 survey reveals a rural society built around water management and education, with the Kimball Creek School, Conn Creek Sch, and Dry Fork Sch distributed along the major drainages to serve ranching families. The complex network of irrigation, including the Hobo Ditch and Gibler Ditch, illustrates the intensive effort required to move water from Roan Creek and Clear Creek to the valley floors.
