About this map

Elizabeth serves as the primary hub of activity in this Colorado landscape, characterized by the winding paths of Running Creek and its various tributaries. The town’s social and infrastructure landscape is well-defined, featuring a Rodeo Ground, Athletic Field, and essential utilities like the Sewage Disposal and Water Tank. To the north, the residential area of Bonnie Ridge sits near the headwaters of Cimarron.

Evidence of the area's historical transportation and aviation history is scattered throughout the terrain. An Old Railroad Grade cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, tracing a path south of a local Cem. Aviation enthusiasts will note the Fire View Airfield and a secondary Landing Strip located on the higher ground between Little Dry Creek and Running Creek, reflecting the rural development of Elbert County during the late twentieth century.
