About this map

The agricultural landscape of Colfax County is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and the meandering path of the West Fork Maple Creek. In this 2011 survey, the village of Leigh serves as a local hub, home to the Leigh Post Office and the Colfax County Fairgrounds. The map reveals a cluster of community institutions on the western edge of town, including Centennial Park Campground and the Rick Charipar Memorial Golf Course.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as the Bohemian Cemetery near Clarkson and the concentrated grouping of Leigh Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. Outside the residential centers, the importance of the cattle industry is noted at the Folken Feed Yards, while drainage features like Dry Creek and Taylor Creek cross the southern township blocks.
