1963 Map of Pierce Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates the northern half of this Fremont County landscape, where the rugged drainages of Pierce Gulch and Green Gulch converge as they move toward the valley floor. In the southwest corner, the Arkansas River serves as the primary corridor for regional transport, followed closely by the tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This 1963 survey, with photorevisions from 1974, captures the infrastructure supporting the arid high desert, including an Aqueduct and Pipeline systems that traverse the varied terrain. Irrigation and water management are evident through the Beaver Park Ditch, which skirts the edge of the canyonlands. The map reveals the stark boundary line between Fremont and Pueblo counties, crossing over the high point of Booth Mountain in the northeast and extending down through the drainage of Beaver Creek.
