About this map

Timpas Creek carves through the high plains of southern Colorado in this early 1970s survey, marking a landscape where vital water sources define human activity. The legendary Santa Fe Trail follows the creek's corridor, paralleled by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, illustrating the long-standing transit route through the Iron Springs Hills. The map reveal a ranching economy dependent on a network of remote water infrastructure, including family-named landmarks like Hoffman Windmill, Mullins Windmill, and Lees Windmill.
