About this map

Horse Creek and its various tributaries, including Little Horse Creek and Steels Fork, carve a drainage network across this portion of El Paso County. The landscape is defined by its water management and small-scale aviation infrastructure during the early 21st century. Significant engineering works are visible in the north and east, such as the Eldon Minkler Detention Number 1 Dam at Minkler Detention Reservoir Number 1 and the Charles Golding Dam which contains the Charles Golding Reservoir.

A sparse network of rural roads, including Ramah Hwy and Judge Orr Rd, provides access to private airfields like Peakview Airport and Tranquila Airport. These features, alongside named drainage features like Pond Creek and Big Springs Creek, illustrate the spatial organization of a modern high-plains ranching and residential environment. The map provides a precise record of property boundaries and local infrastructure prior to more recent suburban expansion from the west.
