1977 Map of The Pinnacles

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Pinnacles rise as a distinct geological formation above the high plains of the Crowley County and Kiowa County border in this 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns, most notably the winding course of Sand Arroyo and the deep seasonal cuts of Black Draw. This survey captures the rural character of the eastern Colorado plains, where human presence is marked by isolated infrastructure like a lone tank or well and the quiet presence of the Sand Arroyo Cem. The map illustrates the harsh, arid environment of the High Plains, with terrain features like Cow Butte providing navigational landmarks for ranchers and residents near the upper reaches of South Fork Mustang Creek.
