1961 Map of Strasburg SW

About this map

Kiowa Creek and Wolf Creek carve a network of drainage patterns across the High Plains of eastern Colorado, defining the topography of this rural landscape. The map captures a moment of modern transition as suburban residential development begins to appear in the southwestern corner at Sun Country Meadows, accessed by Sun Country Drive. This growth sits alongside established resource extraction, evidenced by an extensive Oil Field, numerous scattered Oil Wells, and several Gravel Pit sites. The boundary between Arapahoe Co and Elbert Co runs horizontally across the center of the survey, illustrating how political lines bisect the natural flow of the creek valleys. Isolated Corral sites and individual Drill Hole locations point to the mixed agricultural and industrial use of the land during the mid-to-late 20th century.
