1959 Map of Highlands Church

About this map

Highlands Church serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in eastern Pueblo County, surveyed in the late 1950s. The area is characterized by a network of drainage patterns, most notably the winding path of Kramer Creek that cuts through the southeastern quadrant. Settlement is sparse, reflected by the isolated placement of a small Cem and the presence of numerous Fence lines and a winding Trail, which suggest a terrain primarily used for open-range grazing or agriculture rather than dense development. The survey also identifies the prominent high point at VABM Stroud 5145, providing a clear record of the natural topography before more modern land-use changes altered the quiet character of this plains environment.
