1979 Map of Stratton 3 SW

About this map

Big Spring Creek and East Branch Spring Creek define the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape, where the border between Kit Carson Co and Cheyenne Co splits the central terrain. The map captures a primarily agricultural region during the late 1970s, characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads and scattered rural infrastructure. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of Gravel pits near the southwestern boundary, while the reliance on subterranean water is documented through locations of Springs and a documented Well. Significant seasonal watercourses like Pass Creek illustrate the natural erosion patterns across the open country, showing how water management and natural hydrology shaped the development of this Colorado borderland.
