1954 Map of Hanover NW

About this map

Windmills dot the landscape of the El Paso County plains in this mid-1950s survey, emphasizing a rural economy dependent on well-drawn water. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Chico Creek and Black Squirrel Creek, where seasonal water patterns shaped the early road network. Local transport follows the lowlands via the Squirrel Creek Road and Black Squirrel Creek Road, while numerous Jeep Trails provide access across the open range. A distinctive topographic landmark, Crows Roost, rises above the surrounding flats in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. This era of mapping captures the transition of the Colorado high plains before significant modern development, preserving the exact locations of the primary livestock watering points and the traditional ranch routes that connected this part of the state to the Ellicott and Hanover vicinities.
