1961 Map of Falcon

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

A high plains cattle ranching and rail landscape defines this area of El Paso County during the early 1960s. The settlement of Falcon serves as a central point where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Colorado and Southern railroads converge, illustrating the importance of rail transport to the local economy. The surrounding terrain is heavily marked by a network of established homesteads and family-run operations, including the Old Brown Ranch, Bennett Ranch, and Nielsen Ranch, many of which are situated near seasonal water sources like Jimmy Camp Creek. Local infrastructure is further evidenced by several Gravel Pit sites and small community markers such as the Cem near the northern edge of the survey. The presence of named roads like Burgess Road and Judge Orr Road highlights the transition from traditional trail ways to a structured county road system serving the ranching community.
