1948 Map of Falcon

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The settlement at Falcon serves as the focal point of this 1948 topographic study, situated at the junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Colorado and Southern railroads. This intersection in El Paso County highlights a transition from early rail-dependent commerce to the growing network of regional roads like the Falcon Highway and Burgess Road. The landscape is predominantly characterized by scattered family ranches, such as Old Brown Ranch, Bennett Ranch, and Gieck Ranch, illustrating a decentralized agricultural economy spread across the plains east of the Rockies.
