About this map

The Corral Bluffs escarpment dominates the northern landscape of this region east of Colorado Springs, where a legacy of resource extraction and ranching is clearly preserved. Industrial history is concentrated along the N Franceville Coal Mn Rd, featuring the Franceville Mine, the Clara Belle Mine, and the Corley Coal Mine Number Three. These labels provide specific locations for genealogists and researchers tracing the coal mining activity that once fueled the local economy.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of established family-named ranching operations, such as the Flying Lazy S Ranch, Mitchell Ranch, and Boucher Ranch. Water sources like Williams Creek and Chico Creek thread through the drainage patterns, while a grid of rural roads including Dragonman Dr and Bradley Rd connects the disparate holdings. This survey offers a clear view of the land division and commercial sites in El Paso County at the start of the 2010s.
