About this map

Eastonville and its surrounding high plains landscape are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and modern water management. Located in El Paso County, the area features numerous flood control structures including the Kiowa Creek Watershed J-33 Reservoir and Kiowa Creek Watershed 1-M-10 Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water conservation in this arid region. The terrain is marked by Rattlesnake Butte to the east and the edge of the Black Forest to the west, while several creeks like Black Squirrel Creek and West Bijou Creek carve through the landscape.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the clear location of the Eastonville Cemetery and Bluff Cemetery. The presence of small aviation sites such as Cherokee Trail Ranch Airport and Fat Chance Airport speaks to the rural, ranching character of the territory during this period, while the burgeoning road network around Peyton indicates the ongoing transition from traditional agriculture to residential development.
