1969 Map of Tuttle

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Tuttle sits on the high plains of Eastern Colorado in the late 1960s, a landscape defined by the drainage of the South Fork Republican River. The terrain is etched by seasonal watercourses like Spring Creek and Dry Gulch, which cut through the tableland to feed the river. This survey, grounded in 1968 aerial photography and 1969 field checks, reveals a sparse ranching and agricultural environment where infrastructure is limited to primitive roads, a scattering of Well sites, and a Gravel Pit. The map captures the precise surveyor's lines of Township 6, 7, and 8 South, including fine red dashed lines indicating property-defining fence lines across the open range. It is an exacting record of the Kit Carson County backcountry before modern center-pivot irrigation and contemporary land-use patterns further altered the prairie surface.
