2013 Map of Fondis

About this map

Fondis sits at the junction of several county routes in this high-plains landscape of eastern Colorado. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of the Bijou Creek system, including the W Bijou Cr and E Bijou Cr, which are fed by smaller drainages like Spring Br and Station Gulch. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural economy reliant on water management, evidenced by numerous named storage sites such as Ramsey Reservoir, George Mason Reservoir, and Trojanovich Reservoir. Near the northern border, the prominent Eagle Rock stands as a local landmark. The presence of Aero Bear Field Airport west of the primary north-south corridor suggests specialized aviation activity within this sparsely populated agricultural area. The map also records the boundary line where Elbert Co and El Paso Co meet along the southern edge of the quadrangle.
