About this map

The small unincorporated community of Elbert sits at the junction of Main St and Eccles St, serving as a central point in this prairie landscape. The area is defined by a complex drainage network where Kiowa Creek and Running Creek wind through the terrain. A notable feature of this modern survey is the extensive water management system, illustrated by numerous numbered reservoirs such as Kiowa Cr Watershed 1-W-20 Reservoir and Kiowa Cr Watershed 2-K-10 Reservoir.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial grounds including Elbert Cem and the James Cem to the west. The southern portion of the sheet marks the county line between Elbert County and El Paso County, where the terrain begins to transition into features like Neffs Gulch and the headwaters of West Bijou Creek. The road network, including Co Rd 106 and Co Rd 98, traces the section lines of the established township and range system.
