1979 Map of South of Flagler Reservoir

About this map

Sand Creek and Spring Creek define the drainage patterns of this Kit Carson County landscape, where the High Plains terrain is marked by sparse but essential infrastructure. Based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, the map reveals a pastoral environment where industrial activity is limited to a small Gravel Pit and scattered agricultural assets like a solitary Storage Bin. The presence of several Wells underscores the importance of groundwater in this arid stretch of eastern Colorado. This survey documents the area just before the turn of the decade, showing a quiet rural network of local roads and sections where a single Radio Tower stands as a prominent modern landmark amidst the expansive natural contours.
