1969 Map of Noonen Reservoir

About this map

Noonen Reservoir and its associated Spillway form a central landmark in this high plains landscape of the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Muddy Creek and First Creek, which carve through the open country. This area represents a rural corridor along the boundary of Adams and Arapahoe Counties, where the primary industrial footprints are several scattered Gravel Pits and a long Pipeline cutting diagonally across the topography. The map illustrates a transitional period of land use, where natural drainage features like Bolden Gulch remained largely undisturbed while early infrastructure began to mark the prairie.
