1957 Map of Piney Creek

About this map

The Lowry Air Force Base Bombing Range dominates the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, defined by a rigid Military Reservation Boundary that carves through the undulating prairie. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the terrain is characterized by a series of north-flowing drainages including West Toll Gate Creek, East Toll Gate Creek, and Murphy Creek. These watercourses create a distinct dendritic drainage pattern across the high plains southeast of Denver.
