2013 Map of Elizabeth

About this map

Elizabeth sits at the northern end of this Elbert County landscape, where the town's grid meets the branching drainages of the High Plains. The terrain is defined by the parallel paths of Running Cr and Kiowa Cr, which flow northward through a series of ridges and draws. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition from the compact settlement of Elizabeth and the neighboring residential pocket of Ponderosa Park into a ranching and private aviation landscape. The presence of multiple small landing strips, including Pine View Airport, Dietrichs Airport, and the Circle 8 Ranch Airport, points to a distinct pattern of land use where private flight and large rural parcels intersect. Infrastructure for water management is evident at the Richard Warne Flood Retention Reservoir, while local heritage is anchored by the Elizabeth Cem and the Kiowa Old Cem located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
