2022 Map of Elder

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The Apishapa River cuts through this high plains landscape of southern Colorado, defining the topography south of the small settlement of Elder. This area in Otero County is dominated by an extensive network of water management features, reflecting the critical role of irrigation in the local economy. Major arteries like the Catlin Canal, Otero Canal, and the Rocky Ford Highline Canal traverse the northern sections, while smaller operations like the Oxford Farmers Ditch serve specific plots. The terrain shifts from the flat canal lands to the more varied elevations of Apishapa Bluff and Smith Hollow. For those tracing local history, the Mountain View Cem sits near the eastern boundary, and Arnold Springs provides a focal point in the central draws of the quadrangle.
