1966 Map of Piney Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Military Reservation lands dominate the high plains landscape of this region during the mid-1960s, a period where the traditional cattle-country fence lines began to intersect with early aeronautical and communication infrastructure. The drainage systems of West Toll Gate Creek and East Toll Gate Creek carve through the northern terrain, while Piney Creek and Sulphur Gulch define the southern reaches. This era reflects a transition from rural ranching toward more modern utility, evidenced by the presence of a Radio Tower, a Radio Facility, and a remote Landing Strip situated between Sulphur Gulch and Coal Creek. Historical thoroughfares like Smoky Hill Road and Airline Road provide the primary transit grid, passing near a solitary Cem and several scattered Gravel Pit operations that hint at the area's development and geological utility.
