1892 Map of Limon

About this map

Limon and the high plains of Eastern Colorado serve as the focal point of this late nineteenth-century survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the intersection of major rail corridors. The Kansas Pacific Railroad and the Chicago Kansas and Nebraska Railroad create a distinct transportation hub that facilitated early settlement along the Big Sandy Creek drainage. These iron arteries connected isolated stations like River Bend, Resolis, and Mattison, which were critical supply points for the surrounding ranching country.
