2019 Map of Simla

About this map

The town of Simla serves as the focal point of this Eastern Colorado landscape, situated along the border of Elbert and El Paso counties. The grid of the settlement is clearly defined by residential streets such as Washington Ave, Cheyenne Ave, and Buffalo ST, centered near the Simla Cem. This area is characterized by a significant water management infrastructure designed for the high plains environment, featuring numerous catchment points like the Big Sandy Cr Watershed N-21 Reservoir and the Big Sandy Cr Watershed S-16 Reservoir. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is marked by seasonal drainages including Sixshooter Gulch and Reed Springs Creek. A unique genealogical detail is found just south of the town line: the Liptrap Single Grave, a solitary landmark that points to the early homesteading history of the region.
