1954 Map of Limon

About this map

The High Plains of Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas reveal a landscape of river-fed agriculture and isolated settlements in this mid-century survey. The Republican River and its various forks, including the South Fork Republican River, define the water geography of the region, notably punctuated by the Bonny Reservoir and Bonny Dam. The transportation network is anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which strings together small hubs like Limon, Flagler, and Stratton along the southern corridor.
