1970 Map of Matheson SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Rush Creek and South Rush Creek weave through this section of the Colorado high plains, defining the drainage patterns of Elbert County as they appeared in 1970. The landscape is primarily defined by its hydrology and the sparse infrastructure of the era, most notably Harrisville Road which serves as a primary east-west corridor for the local ranching and agricultural community. Evidence of local industry is visible through several instances of Gravel Pit workings situated near the creek beds, likely supporting the maintenance of the surrounding unimproved road network. This survey captures the terrain just after the 1968 aerial photography was conducted, providing a technical record of the land's elevation and minor rural developments before later decades of change.
