2022 Map of Hanover

About this map

The Chico Basin Cem sits in the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, marking a site of local genealogical significance within a territory defined by high plains ranching and water management. Modern infrastructure like S Peyton Hwy and Hanover Rd intersects the grid of township and range lines, connecting sparse settlements across the El Paso and Pueblo county line. The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals the importance of water storage and irrigation in this semi-arid environment, anchored by the Smith Reservoir and the J N Holland Reservoir Number 2. These features, along with the Hanover Ditch Number 1 and the winding course of Chico Cr, illustrate the engineered landscape required to support agriculture and livestock in the region south of Colorado Springs.
