2013 Map of Chivington

About this map

Chivington serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, situated along the path of Co-96. The geography is defined by a sparse network of county roads and intermittent waterways, most notably the winding course of Rush Cr and the larger Big Sandy Cr in the southeast. For local history researchers and genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Chivington Cem south of the town and the isolated France Cem further north. Rising above the surrounding plains, Chivington Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the rectilinear grid of township and range boundaries, such as t018s r046w. This survey documents the persistence of small agricultural settlements and the vital road system that connects them across the high plains.
