1973 Map of Lusto Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The High Plains of Eastern Colorado are defined by a network of ephemeral drainage systems and small ranching sites in this early 1970s survey. The landscape straddles the Washington County and Lincoln County line, characterized by the winding path of Vega Creek and the headwaters of the North Fork Arikaree River. Named for the Lusto Springs water source, the area shows the sparse settlement pattern of the region, anchored by the localities of Falch and Sutton. Evidence of modernization is present at Flat Top, which serves as a high point for a Radio Tower. The intricate contouring reveals the subtle dissection of the plains by Gordon Creek, Spring Creek, and West Fork Plum Bush Creek, illustrating how water and topography dictated the placement of early homesteads and transportation routes in this remote prairie environment.
