1973 Map of Yoder

About this map

The settlement of Yoder serves as the focal point for this high plains landscape in El Paso County, where a geometric grid of rural routes defines the late twentieth-century cattle and farming country. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map illustrates a network of family-named roads such as Lauppe Road, Sengbeil Road, and Chambers Road, tracing the lineage of local landholders across the drainage basins of several unnamed creeks. The presence of Antioch Cem near the intersection of Gieck Road and Yoder Road provides a significant touchstone for genealogists and local historians tracking the area's pioneer families. Small surface water features, including various springs and a pond, are scattered throughout the sections, alongside industrial markers like a Gravel Pit near Edison Road, reflecting the practical land use of the era.
