2013 Map of McEndree Ranch

About this map

McEndree Ranch and the small settlement of Maxey anchor this high plains landscape in the southeast corner of Colorado. The area is defined by a grid of rural county roads, such as CO Road RR and CO Road 12, which partition the wide drainage basins of Two Butte Creek and Maverick Creek. For those researching local lineages, the Maxey Cem serves as a vital touchstone for the families who settled this arid ranching country. The terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses like Snake Arroyo and the parallel flows of North Horse Creek and South Horse Creek. This map documents a quiet, enduring cattle-country lifestyle where the names on the land reflect the long-term stewardship of specific ranching operations and the remnants of early twentieth-century homesteading hubs.
