1968 Map of Chivington

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Chivington sits as the central settlement on this High Plains landscape, a community defined by the long arc of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The rails traverse the territory alongside Rush Creek, which cuts through the undulating terrain toward its eventual confluence with Big Sandy Creek in the southeast. This geography reflects the late 1960s rail-and-ranching economy of Kiowa County, where small-scale industrial markers like the Gravel Pit and public spaces such as the Roadside Park provide specific landmarks for local history researchers. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the France Cem, situated north of the main rail line. The sparse distribution of features underscores the isolation of these eastern Colorado prairie settlements during this era of agricultural transition.
