1977 Map of Punkin Center

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Punkin Center serves as the central point of reference in this mid-1970s landscape on the high plains of the Elbert and Lincoln County line. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Mustang Creek, South Rush Creek, and Horse Creek, which carve subtle valleys across the ranching country. The presence of numerous Wells and several Springs highlights the critical importance of water access in this semi-arid region, where small-scale improvements dictate the patterns of human settlement and land use. Industrial activity is minimal, represented only by a solitary Gravel Pit along the highway. This survey captures a specific moment in the rural development of eastern Colorado, where the vastness of the prairie is segmented by ranching fences and the intersection of state routes at a single named settlement.
