1955 Map of Watkins SE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The rolling plains along the Arapahoe and Elbert county line are defined by a network of drainage channels that have shaped the rural settlement of the region. The map captures a transition period in the mid-1950s, where traditional landmarks like the Schley Sch reflect the historical community structure of this agricultural landscape. The terrain is marked by the distinct paths of Box Elder Creek and Coal Creek, which provide the primary topographic relief in an otherwise expansive grassland. These waterways, along with Running Hay Gulch, served as the focal points for early land claims and local infrastructure. The inclusion of 1970s revisions highlights the gradual modernization of the area while preserving the original locations of these mid-century local landmarks.
