About this map

Holtwold Store stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape, situated along the County Line between El Paso and Elbert Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, most notably the North Fork Horse Creek and Little Horse Creek, which carve subtle valleys across the plateau. The placement of Deadman Reservoir and Cutler Reservoir highlights the importance of water management in this arid cattle-ranching region during the early 1970s.

Local infrastructure is traced through a grid of rural routes including Judge Orr Road and Big Springs Road. For those researching local family history, the map identifies small, isolated burial sites such as Kanza Cem and a simple Cem near the creek banks. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the road junctions suggest the local industry required for maintaining these remote transportation arteries.
