Eastland

Eastland, a small community, is located eleven miles east of Monticello and four miles south of US 491 on County Road 312 (Horsehead) at an elevation of 7050 feet. Eastland is approximately fifteen miles west of the Utah/Colorado border.

The community began in the 1920s as a cluster of farms and homes amid large bean and wheat fields. Eastland remains small and is still surrounded by cultivated fields. Its estimated 2000 population was 130. It does not provide city services; however, the community maintains a well, and pipes water to individual homes.
