1978 Map of Punkin Center NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined by a complex network of intermittent waterways on this 1970s topographic study. The drainage patterns of Middle Rush Creek, North Rush Creek, and South Rush Creek dominate the landscape, illustrating the critical importance of water management in this arid region. The boundary between Elbert Co and Lincoln Co bisects the terrain, which is marked by scattered Spring and Springs locations that historically served as vital resources for local ranching operations. Human activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pit excavations and a grid of rural infrastructure. The presence of Apache Creek and Mustang Creek further highlights the natural hydrology that shaped settlement and land use across these eastern counties during the late twentieth century.
