2010 Map of Pierce Gulch

About this map

Arkansas River frontage and the industrial settlement of Concrete anchor the southern portion of this landscape at the dawn of the 21st century. The map reveals a transition from the structured grid of the town and neighboring rural roads like Old Portland Rd into a rugged northern terrain defined by drainage systems and mineral extraction. The presence of the Beaver Creek Mine near the center of the sheet reflects the region's enduring connection to mining, while the complex network of trails such as Two Buttes Trl and Topnotch Trl suggests a modern land use dominated by recreation or ranching access. Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by the Brush Hollow Supply Ditch and the primary flows of Beaver Creek and Red Creek which carve through landmarks like Salt Canyon.
