About this map

Deer Trail anchors the southern edge of this landscape, where the High Plains are defined by the winding drainages of the Bijou Creek system. The map documents the convergence of several major waterways, including Middle Bijou Creek and East Bijou Creek, which cut through the terrain alongside smaller tributaries like Rattlesnake Cr and First Cr. This area on the Adams Co Arapahoe Co line reflects a rural infrastructure of Section and Township lines, where long straight stretches of road like Peoria Rd and Huntington Rd navigate the undulating gulches.

The northern reaches of the survey are marked by Lone Tree Gulch and Cabin Creek, showing a geography shaped by intermittent water and expansive ranchland roads. From the diagonal crossing of the primary highway through Deer Trail to the remote crossings at Hanks Crossing Rd, the map provides a clear picture of the modern eastern Colorado prairie. Genealogists and local historians can trace the specific land parcels and family-named routes like Davies Rd that define this agricultural corridor.
