1915 Map of Koehler

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Maxwell Grant dominates the central landscape of Colfax County, where the transition from the high canyons of the north to the irrigated plains of the south is clearly defined. In this 1915 survey, the settlement of Maxwell serves as a hub for the surrounding ranching and farming operations, supported by an intricate network of numbered reservoirs, including Lake No 12 and Lake No 20. The economic life of the region is driven by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which runs alongside the historic Santa Fe Trail, while the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad services the coal-producing town of Koehler at the foot of the mountains. Educational hubs like Grand Valley School and Red River School are spaced across the flats, reflecting the dispersed nature of the homesteads during this era of agricultural expansion.
