1973 Map of Holcolm Hills

About this map

The rolling drainage systems of Horse Creek and Steels Fork define the eastern plains of El Paso County during the early 1970s. This landscape is characterized by its high-altitude prairie terrain, dominated by the physical presence of the Holcolm Hills and a network of strictly rectilinear section roads. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region, where local history is anchored by family-named landmarks such as Meyers Cem and several unnamed water wells distributed across the sections.
