1969 Map of Kirk

About this map

Kirk serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, situated near the northern edge of the survey area. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the South Fork Republican River and its tributaries, including Hell Creek and Spring Creek, which carve subtle depressions through the plains. Local infrastructure in the late 1960s includes the Idler Landing Strip and the Royce Darling Memorial Golf Course, reflecting the community's recreational and transportation needs. For genealogists, the Kirk Cem provides a specific point of interest just south of the town site. The map also delineates the boundary between Yuma County and Kit Carson County, showing the agricultural and ranching patterns that dominate the region through numerous marked wells and section-line roads.
