1977 Map of Avalo SE

About this map

The high plains of the Weld Co Logan Co boundary define this landscape in the late 1970s. This prairie environment is dominated by a drainage network of seasonal streams, including Cedar Creek, Twomile Creek, and Spring Creek, which cut through the open terrain. Energy extraction is a visible driver of activity here, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit marking the industrial footprint on the land. The presence of Kester in the eastern portion of the sheet provides a specific point of interest for local historians tracking small-scale landmarks or family holdings in this rural stretch of northeastern Colorado. The map captures the intersection of natural water courses and late-twentieth-century resource development before more modern shifts in the regional economy.
