1973 Map of Truckton

About this map

Truckton sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads in this high-plains landscape of El Paso County. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the eastern Colorado plains, where Truckton Road and Yoder Road provide the primary corridors for travel through the township. A lone Radio Tower and the geological prominence of Signal Rock serve as the most distinctive vertical landmarks in an otherwise horizontal expanse. The map reveals a land divided for ranching and agriculture, characterized by intermittent water sources like the several marked wells and various Gravel Pits that supported local infrastructure. The road network, including Lauppe Road, Edison Road, and North Neely Road, illustrates the systematic settlement and ranching boundaries established across the T. 15 S. and T. 16 S. survey lines.
