Map 2: The Hornbek Homestead and surrounding area.

[Graphic] Map 2 with link to higher quality map. (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Drawn by John Piveral.)

1. Use the map scale to determine the distance between Adeline Hornbek's homestead and the road, the stagecoach route, and the town of Florissant.

2. Why might it have been important for Hornbek's ranch to be near each of these?

* The map on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of this map, but be aware that the file will take as much as two minutes to a load with a 28.8K modem.
