1942 Map of Box Elder School

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Box Elder Creek and a network of irrigation works define this high plains landscape on the eastern edge of the City and County of Denver and Adams County during the early 1940s. The territory is marked by the vital management of water, showing the Highline Canal, Doherty Ditch, and Lone Tree Ditch cutting across the drainages of First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek. This 1939-40 survey, published in 1942, captures a rural infrastructure focused on agriculture and transport, anchored by the Union Pacific rail line in the southwest corner. Local life is centered on the district's rural education system, represented by the Box Elder Sch and First Creek Sch, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching the families who worked this land before suburban expansion.
