2010 Map of Colorado City

About this map

Colorado City and the neighboring settlement of Greenhorn anchor this 2010 survey of south-central Colorado. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the waters of Greenhorn Creek and Graneros Creek meet the arid terrain of the Graneros Gorge. Local infrastructure is highly visible, featuring the Beckwith Reservoir and Bonnie Meade Reservoir, both essential water management points for this high-plains community. A unique industrial footprint is found at the Cedarwood Clay Mine to the east, illustrating the region's mineral extraction history. Aviation and transport are represented by the Greenhorn Valley Airport, which sits north of the main residential clusters. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of the planned community to the natural arroyos and springs, such as Walters Spring and Mustang Arroyo, that carve through the surrounding prairie.
