1974 Map of Abarr

About this map

Abarr serves as the central anchor of this eastern Colorado landscape, located in Yuma County during the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a strictly rural economy, where the layout of the land is defined more by agricultural boundaries and water access than by dense development. Numerous instances of a Well are scattered across the terrain, highlighting the critical reliance on groundwater in this high plains environment. While the settlement of Abarr provides a focal point for local history, the industrial presence is limited to scattered resource extraction, as seen in several locations of a Gravel Pit. The topographic detail captured by the Geological Survey emphasizes the subtle drainage patterns and the network of section lines and fence lines that organize the open prairie into a functional ranching and farming grid.
