2016 Map of Ramah North

About this map

Ramah sits at the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, where the geography is defined by the transition between the Elbert County and El Paso County line. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-draining ephemeral waterways, including East Bijou Creek and Reed Springs Cr, which carve through the high prairie. These drainages reveal a landscape managed for water, evidenced by the presence of Sproch Reservoir Number 1. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural burial sites like Sproch Cem and Sakala Cem, which anchor the surrounding agricultural sections. The network of county roads, such as Co RD 105 and Co RD 93, follows the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how 19th-century land divisions continue to dictate the modern rural movement in this part of Colorado.
