2019 Map of Elba

About this map

The high plains of Washington County are centered on the small settlement of Elba, a community defined by its remote location and the sparse network of rural roads that traverse the terrain. Water is a defining yet scarce feature in this landscape, with the drainage of Hell Cr cutting through the northern sections of the map. The geography is structured by a rigid section-line grid, visible in the alignment of routes like Co Rd 29 and Co Rd 26. This 2019 survey documents the enduring ranching and agricultural character of eastern Colorado, where development remains concentrated along specific corridors such as Co Rd 22. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t1s r52w and t1s r51w, which continue to dictate property and infrastructure patterns today.
