Rural El Paso County — East of Black Forest, North of Falcon
Eastonville is the kind of Colorado community that doesn't make it onto many maps — it's an unincorporated rural area in northern El Paso County, centered loosely around Eastonville Road and the county road network east of Black Forest and north of the Falcon unincorporated area. The properties out here range from small ranchettes on a few acres to larger agricultural operations, with the characteristic high-plains-meets-pine-country landscape that defines this part of El Paso County.
Like most of rural El Paso County, Eastonville residents are off the natural gas grid. Propane is the primary fuel for home heating, domestic hot water, cooking, and in many cases, barn heating and livestock water systems. When the wind picks up on a January night out along Eastonville Road and the temperature drops, you need to know your propane supply is handled.
Brothers Propane makes regular deliveries into this area. We cover the Eastonville corridor as part of our northern El Paso County route, which also includes the Black Forest and Falcon areas. Our drivers are familiar with the rural access roads out here and we work with customers to accommodate gate codes, long driveways, and other rural property realities.
Northern El Paso County Weather and Your Propane Needs
The area east of Black Forest and north of Falcon occupies a weather zone that can be unpredictable. You get the elevation-driven cold snaps of the Palmer Divide mixed with the open-plains wind exposure of eastern El Paso County. Winter storms that track up from the south can drop a foot of wet snow along the Eastonville Road corridor in a matter of hours, making access challenging even for four-wheel-drive vehicles.
This weather reality has a direct bearing on how you should manage your propane supply. We recommend that Eastonville-area customers keep a minimum 30% tank level through the winter months — and ideally enroll in automatic delivery so you never have to think about it. If a storm rolls in and your access road becomes impassable for 48 hours, you want that buffer already in the tank.
