1963 Map of Wildcat Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Arikaree River bottomlands define this portion of Yuma County, where the watercourse carves a wide path through the High Plains. This 1963 field survey captures a landscape of cattle ranching and sparse water resources, centered on the confluence of several intermittent drainages. Local landmarks such as McCoy Ranch, Mulliri Ranch, and Gerberzs provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family landholdings in this part of eastern Colorado. The terrain is deeply incised by Wildcat Canyon and several feeder streams, including Copperkettle Creek and Black Wolf Creek. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, documenting the rural topography before later changes in land use or infrastructure altered the drainage patterns near Hay Spring Gulch.
