About this map

Rule Creek and Caddoa Creek carve distinct drainages through this section of Bent County, reflecting the arid landscape's reliance on intermittent water sources. The mid-1960s terrain is marked by a mix of natural erosion and human utility, evidenced by the presence of Mans Ditch and a centrally located Landing Strip. These features, along with several scattered wells, indicate the pastoral and light industrial activity common to this part of the Colorado high plains. The inclusion of Gravel Pits in the southwest corner and the curiously named Poor drainage further detail the local geography. This survey provides a precise look at the land use and drainage patterns before later modern developments, offering a clear view of the rural infrastructure from the mid-century era.
