1970 Map of South of Burlington

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Middle Beaver Creek and Sand Creek wind through this high plains landscape of Kit Carson County, illustrating the sparse but vital water networks of the Colorado grasslands. The terrain is defined by a series of shallow drainages and numerous Well sites, which represent the essential infrastructure of early 1970s ranching and agricultural operations. The extraction of local materials is evident in several Gravel Pits located in the western sections of the township. This survey, compiled from 1968 aerial photography, shows a strictly organized grid of sections and fence lines that underscore the methodical settlement and land use of the region. The map tracks the subtle shift of the land toward Sandy Creek in the south, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns and land management techniques used during this era.
