About this map

Black Squirrel Cr defines the drainage of this arid high-plains landscape in El Paso County, where wide-open spaces are partitioned by the rigid lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map captures a transition toward rural residential development, with long-established landmarks like Youngs Puddle existing alongside a modern network of gravel and local roads. Transport routes such as S Squirrel Creek Rd and Shear Rd follow the cardinal directions of section lines, reflecting the organized settlement patterns of the Colorado prairie. Small rural clusters and private homesteads are connected by a series of drives and views, including Carl Vw, Darroll Dr, and Fred Vw, which point to the steady transformation of ranchland into a residential patchwork east of the Front Range.
