About this map

The county boundary between Arapahoe Co and Elbert Co bisects this late-1960s landscape, which is defined by a series of parallel north-flowing drainage systems. The terrain transitions from the broader valley of West Bijou Creek in the east to the more dissected uplands near Wolf Creek and Comanche Creek in the west. This period captures the rural character of the high plains before significant suburban expansion, showing a landscape utilized for resource extraction and utility infrastructure. Notable evidence of local industry and development includes a Gravel Pit near the northern edge and a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. Other smaller watercourses, such as Lone Tree Gulch, East Gulch, and Mule Gulch, illustrate the complex drainage patterns that shaped local land use and property boundaries during this era.
