1966 Map of Piney Creek

About this map

The Military Reservation sits at the northern edge of this Colorado landscape, characterized by the diverging drainages of West Toll Gate Creek and East Toll Gate Creek. This 1966 survey, revised by the Inter-County Regional Planning Commission, captures the transition of the high plains before major suburban expansion. Strategic infrastructure like a Radar Facility and a Radio Tower appear alongside historical transit corridors such as Smoky Hill Road and East Parker Road. The drainage patterns are intricate, with seasonal watercourses like Sulphur Gulch, Baldwin Gulch, and Sampson Gulch cutting through the terrain. A small Cem and an Observation Tower provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while scattered Gravel Pits indicate the early industrial activity in the region.
