1954 Map of Eastonville

About this map

Kiowa Creek and its various branches, including West Kiowa Creek and Cantrell Creek, define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape north of Colorado Springs. The map reveals an area transitioning from its earlier transport roots, marked by the prominent Old Railroad Grade that winds through the center, toward a more modern ranching and rural residential character. Local landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte and the Black Forest margin provide geological context to a region punctuated by numerous windmills, essential for the livestock operations at Pine Park Ranch and Pine View Ranch. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Eastonville Cem, located near the former path of the rail line, while the southeastern corner shows the active tracks of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
