2022 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Colorado River defines the landscape of this Colorado County survey, carving a winding path through the center of Columbus and near the settlement of Glidden. The town of Columbus is anchored by the Colorado County Courthouse, surrounded by a dense grid of residential and commercial streets including Walnut St and Austin St. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites such as the Hebrew Benevolence Society Cem, Saint Anthony Catholic Church Cem, and the Odd Fellows Rest Cem. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is shaped by a network of creeks like Cummins Creek and Yupon Cr, with more isolated family landmarks including the Gerhard Miller Cem and Halyard Cem dotting the countryside. To the south, the Robert R Wells Jr Airport and Miller Lake sit amidst the drainage of Wolfpen Cr, illustrating the transition from the town's historic core to more open rural reaches.
