About this map

El Paso County and neighboring Lincoln County meet along the high plains of eastern Colorado, where a network of section roads provides the primary structure for this agricultural and ranching landscape. The intersection of three counties—El Paso, Lincoln, and Pueblo—occurs in the southern reaches of this survey, marking a significant geopolitical boundary where the high desert terrain transitions. Transportation in this era relied on established routes such as Neely Road and Myers Road, which served the local homesteads and ranches characteristic of this region. Isolated Water Tanks are distributed throughout the acreage, reflecting the critical importance of water infrastructure in maintaining livestock and rural operations. The map illustrates a meticulously gridded landscape, where Rasner Road and other corridors define the spatial organization of the high plains before the further modernization of the late 20th century.
