1891 Map of Timpas

USGS Topo · Published 1891

About this map

The confluence of the Arkansas River and the expansive rail operations at La Junta anchor this late-nineteenth-century survey of the high plains. The landscape is defined by the critical transit corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which follows the drainage of Timpas Creek southwest through Benton and Timpas. This route was essential for the movement of cattle and goods between the river valley and the rugged breaks to the south.
