1968 Map of Hawkins

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Hawkins settlement is situated along the high plains of Kiowa County, marked by a landscape where rail transport and industrial exploration intersect. In the late 1960s, the Missouri Pacific railroad served as the primary transit artery, while remnants of an Old Railroad Grade suggest earlier, shifting patterns of movement through the prairie. The presence of numerous infrastructure markers, such as Radio Towers and scattered Drill Holes, indicates a period of resource assessment and communication expansion in this eastern Colorado region. Hydrological features like the mineral-rich Salt Lake, the smaller Black Lake, and various named Springs provide critical reference points for local history and land use. The terrain is further defined by industrial activity, including Gravel Pits and several marked Wells, reflecting the practical demands of a rural economy transitioning through the mid-20th century.
