1970 Map of T Draw

About this map

Middlemist Creek and Vega Creek carve their way through this section of the High Plains, where the border of Elbert Co and Lincoln Co meets. The landscape is defined by the namesake T Draw, an area of complex topography marked by seasonal water sources including numerous Spring sites and a livestock Tank. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals an agricultural and ranching environment during a period of modernization, evidenced by the presence of a Radio Tower and Storage Bins. The sparse network of routes, including a remote Jeep Trail, reflects the isolation of these eastern Colorado plains. For those studying the rural development of the region, the map provides precise locations for utilitarian landmarks like a solitary Storage Bin and a localized Tower, mapping the intersection of natural drainage and human infrastructure.
