1970 Map of Ramah North

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts across the southern edge of this landscape, passing through the small community of Ramah. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including East Bijou Creek and Big Sandy Creek, which reveal the high plains topography of the Elbert and El Paso County line in the 1970s. Local history is anchored by the St Mary Ch and family-named cemeteries such as Sakala Cem and Spxoch Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists tracking rural homesteaders in this region. The inclusion of Gravel Pits and various springs like Reed Springs Creek highlights the local resource extraction and water access that sustained the agricultural and transport corridor along the southern rail line.
