1954 Map of Cherry Valley School

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cherry Valley School anchors this rural landscape where the headwaters of the Cherry Creek system converge near the intersection of Douglas, Elbert, and El Paso counties. The mid-century geography is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Antelope Creek, West Cherry Creek, and East Cherry Creek, which carve through the high plains terrain. A notable shift in local educational infrastructure is evident, with the active schoolhouse standing in contrast to the nearby Cherry Sch (Aband) and Pine Grove Sch (Aband), reflecting a period of rural consolidation. The terrain rises toward Bucks Mountain in the west, while specialized transportation routes like a Jeep Trail suggest a rugged landscape often accessed by early utility or off-road vehicles. Family-named landmarks such as Neffs Gulch and the winding course of Iron Gulch provide specific points of interest for those studying the early ranching and agricultural patterns of this tri-county border region.
