2010 Map of Matheson

About this map

Matheson stands as the central settlement in this portion of Elbert County, positioned where Main St meets the regional transit corridor. The surrounding landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of Big Sandy Creek, which winds through the territory toward the east. This 2010 topographic record highlights the importance of water management in the arid Colorado plains, evidenced by significant infrastructure such as the Big Sandy Creek Watershed S-23 Dam and the Big Sandy Creek Watershed S-22 Dam. These structures create essential local water stores including the Big Sandy Creek Watershed S-23 Reservoir and Big Sandy Creek Watershed S-22 Reservoir. To the northeast, Matheson Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark overlooking the network of county roads, while North Rush Creek drains the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.
