About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a protected expanse of the high plains along the border of Weld and Logan counties. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages and draws that carve through the open country, including Twomile Cr and Spring Draw in the north, while Spring Cr and Brush Cr navigate the southern sections. A rare point of permanent water management appears at the Lemon-Erickson Reservoir Number 1, reflecting the region's historical reliance on water storage for ranching and agriculture. The grid of county roads, such as Co RD 112 and Co RD 7, follows the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how human settlement and transit remain bound to the structured geometry of the prairie.
