2016 Map of Limon

About this map

The town of Limon serves as a critical infrastructure hub on the Colorado High Plains, where the intersection of major transportation routes meets the managed waters of Big Sandy Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern layout of the community, highlighting the concentrated street grid from 1st St to 8th St and the specialized facilities that support the region, including the Limon Municipal Airport. The landscape is defined by an extensive watershed management system north of the town center, featuring a series of reservoirs such as Limon Watershed L-1 Reservoir, Limon Watershed L-2 Reservoir, and Limon Watershed L-3 Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside Nienhuser Reservoir, indicate the vital role of water storage in this semi-arid environment. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Pershing Memorial Cem on the eastern edge of the settlement, while following the meandering path of Lake Cr as it traverses the divide between Elbert Co and Lincoln Co.
