1971 Map of Deora

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high plains of Baca County are captured here in the early 1970s, defined by the diagonal transit of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad across a landscape carved by Two Butte Creek and its tributaries. The small settlement of Deora and nearby Frick anchor the northern portion of the map, while markers of early ranching and prairie commerce, such as the Israel Store (Site) and the Atlanta (Site), offer tangible locations for genealogical research into former homesteads. Educational history is preserved at the Valley View School, situated between the rail line and the dramatic geography of Shell Rock Canyon. The terrain transitions from the high prairie flats to the convoluted drainage systems of Arrasmith Draw and Freezeout Creek, illustrating the environmental factors that shaped early 20th-century settlement patterns in this corner of Colorado.
