1961 Map of Falcon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The northern reaches of the Black Forest dominate the high ground of El Paso County in this 1960s study, where timbered ridges give way to the drainage basins of Cottonwood Creek and Sand Creek. The landscape reflects a ranching and rural economy, anchored by established holdings such as the Banning Lewis Ranch, Wolf Ranch, and Hyatt Ranch. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad cuts across the plains near the small settlement of Shirley, marking a vital transportation corridor for the region's cattle and goods.
