1954 Map of Haegler Ranch

About this map

Haegler Ranch and other mid-century agricultural holdings define this high-plains landscape in eastern El Paso County. The map captures an era of ranching operations reliant on a network of windmills and seasonal watercourses like Black Squirrel Creek and Brackett Creek. Settlement patterns follow the cardinal directions of the survey grid, anchored by family-named properties such as La Vega Ranch and the Hook & Line Ranch. Local transit is oriented around the Falcon Highway and Judge Orr Road, which intersect this open terrain. A lone Community Building and the VABM El Paso E Base survey marker serve as rare structural landmarks in a region dominated by drainage ditches and scattered springs. These details offer a precise view of the rural infrastructure that supported Colorado livestock ranching during the mid-20th century.
