1961 Map of Eckley

About this map

Eckley serves as the primary hub of this Yuma County landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad in the northeastern plains of Colorado. The town’s early infrastructure is evident through the central rail corridor and the nearby Eckley Cems, which provide a clear record of local settlement during the mid-20th century. To the south, the Base Line separates the agricultural townships, while the drainage of Chief Creek and the North Fork Republican River define the natural topography of the High Plains.
