2013 Map of Calhan

About this map

Calhan serves as the central hub of this Eastern Plains landscape, where the grid of the town meets the open ranching country of El Paso County. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Saint Michaels Cem, Lenard Cem, and the National Slovak Society Cem, the latter reflecting the area's specific ethnic settlement history. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Big Sandy Cr and its tributaries like East Br Brackett Cr, which dictate the placement of roads and reservoirs. The intersection of Us-24 and N Calhan Hwy anchors the local transportation network, while the Calhan Airport and various water management features like the Lemesany Detention Number 2 Reservoir illustrate the modern infrastructure required to support this high-plains community.
