About this map

Steels Fork and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in eastern El Paso County. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Ramah Hwy, Judge Orr Rd, and Big Springs Rd, which facilitate transport across the rural terrain. While primarily agricultural and ranch land, the presence of private aviation facilities like Peakview Airport and Tranquila Airport indicates the modern utility of these large land holdings. Water management is central to the area's sustainability, shown through features such as Minkler Detention Reservoir Number 1 and Charles Golding Reservoir. The detailed hydrography of Horse Cr and the W Br Steels Fork Horse Cr provides a precise view of the seasonal watercourses that shape the local geography.
