1973 Map of Antelope Creek SE

About this map

The High Plains of Washington County, Colorado, appear here as an expanse of rolling grasslands and drainage systems defined by the subtle topography of the prairie. In the early 1970s, this landscape was characterized by an agricultural and energy-based economy, where scattered infrastructure is visible among the section lines. Small clusters of Storage Bins are situated across the terrain, serving the dryland farming operations that occupy the flatter plateaus. The industrial footprint extends to the energy sector, marked by a singular Oil Well in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This map captures the transition between the open range and developed land, reflecting the sparse but purposeful settlement patterns of Eastern Colorado.
