1971 Map of Alvin NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The county boundary between Phillips Co and Yuma Co bisects this stretch of high plains, documenting a landscape defined by industrial and agricultural infrastructure in the early 1970s. The terrain is relatively uniform, marked primarily by the presence of a subsurface Pipeline running diagonally through the southern sections. This area of Eastern Colorado shows the systematic development of land for utility and resource management, evidenced by numerous Well sites scattered across the survey. The prominent elevation known as Vogus stands as a rare named topographical marker in an otherwise grid-based landscape of fence lines and section boundaries. The map reflects the period's reliance on groundwater extraction and the transport of energy resources across the prairie, offering a clear record of rural Colorado land use before later twentieth-century developments.
