1970 Map of Thatcher

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Thatcher and the smaller station at Houghton serve as the primary human touchpoints in this high plains landscape of southern Colorado. The area is defined by its transit history, where the modern Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR parallels the legendary corridor of the Santa Fe Trail. Evidence of shifting infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and various water-management features like the Water Tanks and Double Tank Windmill, essential for supporting steam-era rail and cattle ranching in a semi-arid climate.
