2016 Map of Holly East

About this map

The Arkansas River divides this borderland landscape, where the agricultural plains of eastern Colorado meet western Kansas. The settlement of Holly serves as a primary hub on the western edge, supported by the Buffalo Canal and the nearby Holly Airport. Following the river corridor eastward across the Prowers Co Hamilton Co line, the terrain transitions into the small community of Coolidge in Kansas. The map documents a sophisticated irrigation and water management system essential for high-plains life, featuring numerous named waterways like Cheyenne Creek and Spring Cr. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the identification of the Holly Cem and Coolidge Cem, while the grid of rural roads, including Santa Fe Rd and Co Rd HH, illustrates the enduring structure of the region's land divisions.
