1978 Map of Stonington

About this map

The North Fork Cimarron River and Sand Arroyo define this high-plains landscape in southeastern Colorado during the late 1970s. The settlement of Stonington serves as the central hub of this agricultural and resource-rich area, supported by the small community of Lawyer to the north. Water management is a primary theme of the region, evidenced by the high density of labeled Wells distributed across the prairie sections and the prominent Burr landmark. The economy of the era shows a clear shift toward industrial extraction, with active sites such as the Gravel Pit, Oil Well, and various Drill Holes appearing alongside traditional ranching land. For genealogists and local historians, the Stonington Cem provides a vital point of reference for the families who settled this corner of Baca County.
