About this map

The town of Simla serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape where the Elbert and El Paso County line meets. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the corridor of Us-24, with residential streets like Washington Ave and Antelope St defining the local grid. For genealogists, the map identifies the Simla Cem and the solitary Liptrap Single Grave located south of the main settlement, providing specific points for family research.

Hydrologically, the area is defined by Big Sandy Creek and a complex series of flood control structures, including the Big Sandy Cr Watershed N-21 Reservoir and Big Sandy Cr Watershed S-10 Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the open valley floor to the dissected uplands of Sixshooter Gulch, while a network of rural routes such as CO Road 125 and CO Road 94 link the outlying ranches and agricultural sections.
