1897 Map of Elmoro

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Trinidad serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century landscape, where the southern Colorado plains meet the dramatic rise of the Maxwell Grant. The map reveals a sophisticated late-1800s transportation corridor, as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. and the Denver and Rio Grande R. R. converge near Elmoro to follow the valley of the Purgatoire River. This river system, along with the Apishapa River to the north, dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural outposts like Hoehne and Downing.
