2010 Map of Brandon

About this map

Brandon sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads and the diagonal line of Broadway Ave in Kiowa County. This high plains landscape is defined by its agrarian and industrial utility, anchored by the Brandon Oil Field and the intermittent flow of Big Sandy Creek. The spatial layout reveals a small-scale rural hub where local genealogy is preserved at Plainview Cemetery, located just south of the primary settlement. Water management remains central to life in this semi-arid environment, as seen in the presence of Chivington Reservoir Number 4. The map documents a classic eastern Colorado prairie community where the rigid geometry of county roads like County Rd 58 and County Road N dictates the movement of people and commerce between remote homesteads and energy production sites.
