About this map

Badger Creek and several other drainage systems dominate the landscape of eastern Adams County as it appeared in the early 1970s. This survey emphasizes the intersection of natural hydrology and modern industrial infrastructure, noting several Oil Wells and Drill Hole locations scattered across the plains. These industrial sites are linked by a network of utilities, including a mapped Pipeline and Aqueduct, which trace the development of resource extraction and water management in this portion of the High Plains. The drainage patterns of Poison Springs Creek, Middlemist Creek, and Sand Creek illustrate the subtle topography and dryland character of the region. While the map is devoid of large settlements, the detailed record of local creek beds and resource-related sites provides important context for researchers looking at the evolution of land use and the energy economy in eastern Colorado.
