1897 Map of Apishapa

About this map

The Apishapa River carves a deep path through the southeastern Colorado high plains in this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by its early ranching economy, with isolated outposts like the Yellowbank Ranch and Bonito Cordova Ranch marking the vast, arroyo-scored terrain. This era showcases the critical intersection of ancient and modern transit corridors; the legendary Santa Fe Trail and the newer Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR both cut through the southern portion of the sheet near the settlement of Thatcher.
