1893 Map of Catlin

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the primary axis of development on this 1889 survey, where the river's path dictates the placement of early settlements and heavy rail infrastructure. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad parallels the southern bank, connecting Rocky Ford and Catlin, while the Missouri Pacific Railroad cuts a straight line further north through Olney, Numa, and Lolita. This network reflects the transition of the Otero County region from a landscape of ephemeral camps to one of permanent rail-based agriculture and transit.
