2016 Map of Thatcher

About this map

Thatcher and Houghton anchor this section of the Colorado high plains, situated along a transportation corridor that cuts diagonally through the arid landscape. The area is defined by its drainage systems, most notably Timpas Cr and the extensive Big Arroyo, which have carved subtle relief into the terrain over millennia. These watercourses were critical landmarks for early travelers and remain central to the geography of the township.
