John Gregory Country: Place Names and History of Ralston Buttes Quadrangle, Jefferson County, Colorado. SECOND EDITION
This 2nd edition of John Gregory Country is a modest attempt to locate both geological and historical reference points in and adjacent to the Ralston Buttes Quadrangle of Jefferson County, Colorado. And to hear what they have to say in order to better understand the history of the country traversed by the Gregory toll road. Errors found in the first edition and herein corrected are not acknowledged, as the delineation of dichotomies would be deadly. The RBQ is 57.36 square miles 6.65 miles wide and 8.62 miles deep. Rocky Flats, Blue Mountain, Centennial Cone, and Indian Gulch (U.S. Geol. Survey designation) anchor the quad. To position the RBQ with regard to its neighbors, the adjoining edges of adjacent quads are included. Identification of the quad used limits the elevation figure to that quad. Renaming of places can occur with updated quads. For example, the Mt. Tom that appears on the RBQ is Golden Pk on the 1906 Blackhawk Quad. Many place names do not appear on maps, ergo the S/b in front of the quad designation. A pernicious error in contemporary RBQs is the labeling of Magpie Gulch as Indian Gulch. Magpie Gulch, a steep, willow-choked waterway, is the first drainage from the N to open on Clear Creek above Golden. Indian Gulch is the first drainage from the W to open on Golden N of Clear Creek. Indian Gulch accommodates an old Indian trail. Magpie Gulch got its name from the large flocks of magpies that wintered there. The error robs the original Indian Gulch (W½, S29, T3S, R70W) correctly identified on the 1906 BQ and now left nameless of its identity and places historical references to Magpie Gulch in limbo.
