1955 Map of Strasburg

About this map

Strasburg serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along the Union Pacific railroad corridor where the plains meet the watercourses of Wolf Creek and Little Comanche Creek. The settlement character is defined by its agricultural and industrial infrastructure, notably the Elevators and Gas Tanks clustered near the tracks. This 1955 survey captures the transition of the High Plains landscape, showing the early expansion of utilities such as a Telephone Line, a Pipeline, and a Transformer station. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is marked by remnants of local industry, including several Gravel Pits (Inactive) and a lone Gravel Pit (Inactive) further north. The boundary between Adams Co and Arapahoe Co cuts through the northern portion of the map, delineating the administrative landscape of this rural Colorado region during the postwar era.
