1973 Map of Potty Brown Creek

About this map

Potty Brown Creek winds through this section of the High Plains in Adams County, carving a series of drainage networks into the eastern Colorado landscape. The 1970s survey captures a rural environment defined by its watercourses and early-stage energy exploration. Significant landmarks include the Hoffman Creek and the Little Muddy Creek, which drain into broader basins south and west. This period of land use is characterized by a sparse distribution of extractive infrastructure, indicated by scattered Oil Wells, a Drill Hole, and various water Wells that suggest a reliance on subterranean resources for both ranching and industry. The map further identifies the East Fork and West Fork Seven Arrow Creek, illustrating the complex hydrological fingers that define the local topography.
