About this map

Chico Basin Cem stands as a quiet focal point for genealogy in this prairie landscape along the border of El Paso and Pueblo counties. The area is defined by a sparse but organized ranching economy, with landholdings such as Reble Ranch, Finch Ranch, and the Appelt Junior Ranch spread across the township lines. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by the presence of the Hanover Ditch Number 1 and several localized catchments including Curiton Reservoir and the Smith Reservoir.

Transportation follows a distinct grid pattern, dominated by the north-south corridor of S Peyton Hwy and the east-west Hanover Rd. Further south, the landscape around Chico Cr becomes more intricate with the naming of the Appelt Senior Ranch and the J N Holland Reservoir Number 2. This survey provides a clear view of modern land use in a region where family ranching names remain the primary landmarks.
