1954 Map of Cherry Valley School

About this map

Cherry Valley School serves as the focal point for this rural landscape at the intersection of Douglas and Elbert counties in the mid-1950s. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including West Cherry Creek, East Cherry Creek, and Crowfoot Creek, which carve through the high plains. A clear shift in the local educational infrastructure is evident, with the active schoolhouse standing in contrast to the older Cherry Sch (Aband) and Pine Grove Sch (Aband), reflecting the consolidation of rural districts during this era.
