About this map

Strasburg serves as the primary hub of activity on this high plains landscape, situated precisely on the border of Adams Co and Arapahoe Co. The town’s economy and layout are closely tied to the Union Pacific railroad, which bisects the northern section of the map. Proximity to the rail line is highlighted by the presence of Elevators, essential for the agricultural transport needs of the region.

The physical geography is defined by a series of north-flowing waterways, including Wolf Creek, Comanche Creek, and Little Comanche Creek, which carve gentle drainage patterns through the terrain. To the northeast, the land begins to rise more sharply near Spring Gulch. Industrial markers of the mid-20th century are evident across the landscape, from the Gravel Pit near the creek to the infrastructure of a Pipeline and Telephone Line crossing the southwestern quadrant.
