2010 Map of Holly East

About this map

The Arkansas River and the Buffalo Canal define the agricultural and transit landscape of the high plains along the Colorado-Kansas border in 2010. This survey centers on the transition from Holly, Colorado, to the neighboring community of Coolidge, Kansas, showcasing the grid-based irrigation and transportation infrastructure that supports the region's economy. The river's winding course is mirrored by the engineered precision of the canal and a network of arterial roads, including County Road B and County Road JJ. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Holly Cemetery and Coolidge Cemetery, which serve as bookends to the two settlements. Smaller landmarks like the Holly Airport and Holly Dump provide insight into the modern utility and infrastructure of this borderland corridor, where Cheyenne Creek and Spring Creek draw lines across the prairie toward the larger river valley.
