About this map

The town of Stratton serves as the central hub for this High Plains landscape in Kit Carson County, defined by its rigid grid of agricultural roads and intermittent waterways. The settlement is clearly mapped with named streets including Main St, Colorado Ave, and Wyoming Ave, reflecting its role as a local center of commerce and transit. Surrounding the town site, the landscape is punctuated by the East Branch Spring Creek to the northwest and the courses of Sevenmile Creek and Landsman Creek to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the clear placement of the Clairmont Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, which sit just north and east of the main town grid. The terrain varies from the flat plains of the Dry Gulch area to the subtle draws of the southern creeks, illustrating the characteristic topography of eastern Colorado before it transitions into the Rocky Mountain foothills.
