Eastern Mojave Vegetation Lippincott Road, Jefferson County, Colorado  
 

Tom Schweich  

Home Page  There is no such thing as Lippincott Road. I am using this name for a sequence of former ranch roads that go from Plainview Road north to Bull Gulch. A road following this route first appears on the El Dorado Springs (1942) quadrangle.
