1971 Map of Alvin SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Isolated Well sites and a single Grave define the sparse human presence across this high plains landscape of Yuma County during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region dominated by ranching and resource extraction, with a network of fence lines and a major Pipeline cutting diagonally across the northern sections. This topography is shaped by countless small depressions and ridges, characteristic of the dune-like formations found in this part of eastern Colorado. Near the center of the sheet, the label Ceres marks a specific point of interest in an otherwise open expanse of section lines. The documentation of individual Well locations provides a clear record of groundwater reliance and early energy development for local historians and land researchers studying the rural infrastructure of the High Plains before modern technological shifts.
