About this map

Williams Creek and Chico Creek define the drainage patterns across this high plains landscape in El Paso County. Mapped from aerial photography taken just after World War II, the sheet highlights a ranching economy dependent on dispersed water sources, evidenced by several Windmill sites and the Bailey Windmill. Named outposts like Slate Ranch and Kane Ranch serve as primary landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by its undulating terrain and the straight transit of Squirrel Creek Road. An Underground Pipeline cuts through the southwestern corner, reflecting the early infrastructure of the region during the late 1940s. This survey provides a precise record of rural property development and water resource management in the Colorado interior before modern suburban expansion reached these reaches.
