About this map

Strasburg serves as the focal point of this Eastern Plains landscape, situated where the high plains meet the headwaters of several northward-flowing drainages. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural roads, including family-named and descriptive routes like Piggott Rd and the uniquely titled N Pass Me By Mile Rd, which provide access to a mix of ranching operations and private airfields. Aviation history is visible through the presence of the Comanche Springs Ranch Airport and the Spickard Farm Airport, reflecting the regional reliance on light aircraft for transport across large acreage.

Water management is a central theme in this terrain, evidenced by the Rock Canyon Erosion Control Number 1 Dam and its sister structure, Rock Canyon Erosion Control Number 2 Dam. These features, alongside the meandering paths of Wolf Creek and Comanche Creek, illustrate the persistent efforts to manage soil conservation and seasonal runoff in the semi-arid Colorado environment. The map details the transition from town lots to expansive sections of land bounded by roads such as County Hwy-30 and E Bison Dr.
