2010 Map of Rush

About this map

The settlement of Rush serves as a central landmark for this high plains landscape at the start of the 21st century. Defined by a grid of rural thoroughfares such as Harding Ranch Rd and McCurdy Rd, the region is marked by its intermittent watercourses, including Steels Fork, West Branch Steels Fork Horse Creek, and Pond Creek. These seasonal drainages dictate the orientation of the surrounding homesteads and ranch lands, illustrating the geographic constraints of Colorado's eastern plains. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by Crescent Cemetery in the southwest and Gideons Pt to the south. This survey captures a moment when traditional ranching life continues alongside the established county road network, preserving the names of local landmarks and families that have long shaped this area of El Paso County.
