1970 Map of Ramah North

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

East Bijou Creek and Reed Springs Creek dominate this high-plains landscape in Elbert County, where the terrain is marked by a series of north-south drainage patterns. The agricultural and spiritual life of the area is centered around landmarks such as St Mary Ch and nearby burial grounds, including Sproch Cem and Sakala Cem. A significant transportation corridor is defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which runs through the southern portion of the quadrangle near the valley of Big Sandy Creek. This 1970 field-checked survey also reveals local industrial activity at the Gravel Pits and follows the administrative boundary between Elbert and El Paso counties. The map captures a moment in the mid-century Western landscape when rural rail connections and small community anchors defined the sparse settlement pattern.
