1970 Map of Elbert

About this map

Kiowa Creek and its tributaries carve a network of drainages through this high-plains landscape, which in 1970 served as a rural corridor for ranching and transport. The settlement of Elbert serves as a focal point, situated along an Old Railroad Grade that traces the valley floor, hinting at the area's earlier dependency on rail logistics. Further south, the map documents specialized land uses including the J-CC Camp and the Peaceful Valley Ranch, while the presence of a Landing Strip and a rugged Jeep Trail suggests the modernization of travel in this stretch of the Colorado plateau.
