1954 Map of Ellicott

About this map

Ellicott sits at the center of this eastern Colorado landscape during the mid-1950s, serving as a vital rural hub defined by its educational and communication infrastructure. The presence of the El Paso Telephone Exchange and the Ellicott Consolidated School underscores the community's role as a regional anchor for the surrounding agricultural district. The terrain is characterized by the drainage of Black Squirrel Creek, where a Check Dam reflects early water management efforts in this arid environment.
