1970 Map of Ramah North

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor anchors the southern edge of this landscape, following the course of Big Sandy Creek. Near the El Paso and Elbert county line, the village of Ramah serves as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and farming lands. The drainage network of the High Plains is clearly defined here, with East Bijou Creek and Reed Springs Creek carving into the terrain. Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as St Mary Ch and the rural Sproch Cem and Sakaia Cem. These sites, along with several Gravel Pits and the path of Antelope Road, illustrate the modest infrastructure of this plains community during the early 1970s. The topography is marked by distinct summits like 6429 East, showing the transition from creek beds to the high ridges of the Platte and Arkansas river divides.
