1953 Map of Kreybill

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

John Martin Reservoir dominates this high-plains landscape in Bent County, where the 1953 topography meets 1970s updates. The map preserves the geography of westward expansion through markers for Old Fort Lyon and Fort Bent, alongside the Old Santa Fe Trail. Settlement patterns are centered around the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which runs south of the reservoir through Hilton. Further north, the small community of Kreybill is identified by the Kreybill Sch, surrounded by a network of agricultural infrastructure including the Kicking Bird Canal and various irrigation ditches. This survey documents a critical intersection of historical trail routes, mid-century rail transit, and the hydraulic engineering of the Fort Lyon Canal system used to manage the arid Colorado terrain.
