About this map

Stratton serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, situated along the major east-west transportation corridor that defines the town's geometry and growth. The grid of the settlement is tightly clustered north of the primary transit route, where local history is anchored by Clairmont Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery on its eastern fringe. This 2010 survey reveals a highly organized agricultural landscape, where an extensive network of section-line roads, such as County Road AA and County Road 36, segments the high plains into precise parcels.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through the meandering courses of Landsman Creek to the south and Sevenmile Creek to the east. These ephemeral waterways, along with the East Branch Spring Creek in the northwest corner, provide the only break in the rectilinear human-imposed order of kit Carson County. The transition from the dense residential streets of Stratton to the expansive ranch and farmland illustrates the enduring rural character of the region.
