1970 Map of Delhi

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Delhi and its surroundings in southeastern Colorado appear as a landscape defined by the intersection of early transport history and cattle-country water infrastructure. The historic Santa Fe Trail and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad run parallel through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, following the course of Timpas Creek. The interior terrain is marked by essential watering points for ranchers, including Hizon Spring, Christian Spring, and several family-named wells such as the Barbee Windmill, Deal Windmill, and Wenzel Windmill. The map reveals the intricate network of drainage systems like Poitrey Arroyo and Wild Horse Arroyo that carve through the high plains. The convergence of multiple county lines, including Pueblo, Otero, and Las Animas, highlights the location's significance as a borderlands region where geography and political boundaries meet.
