1966 Map of Russellville Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Russellville serves as the historical anchor for this mid-1960s survey, marking the specific location where the Russell party’s discovery helped spark the Colorado Gold Rush. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Cherry Creek, including its East and West forks, which carve through the high plains terrain along the border of Douglas and Elbert counties. The map documents a transition from pioneer mining history to mid-century utility, evidenced by the presence of a large Pipeline cutting north-to-south and several Radio Towers. Local resource extraction is noted through a Claypit and Gravel Pit, while water management is highlighted by the Barney Bird Reservoir No 1. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Wildcat Canyon and Russellville Gulch, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns typical of the Palmer Divide region.
