About this map

Fleming serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape in Logan County, where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts a straight diagonal line across the prairie. The town site is well-defined with local infrastructure including an Athletic Field, Water Tank, and Storage Bins, reflecting its role as a grain-handling and community center. To the northwest, the Fleming Cem stands near the town limits, providing a key point of interest for genealogical research.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the intermittent drainages of Wildhorse Creek and the North Fork Frenchman Creek, which carve subtle paths through the township. Industrial activity is evident in the scattered Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit locations, while the small settlement of Vanden appears further east along the rail line. This survey captures a moment in the early 1960s when the agricultural and transport patterns of eastern Colorado remained firmly tied to the rail corridor.
