About this map

Liberty Cemetery stands as a focal point for local history in this high plains landscape of Weld County. The map reveals a remote ranching environment defined more by water access and windmills than by dense settlement. The small community of Avalo is situated amidst a network of ephemeral drainage systems, including Spring Creek, Horsetail Creek, and Cottonwood Creek.

What stands out is the high density of named windmills, such as the Two Timer Windmill, Money Saver Windmill, and Dipping Windmill. These features, along with the Toedtli Reservoir and Perry Dam, emphasize the critical importance of water management in this arid cattle-country region. The presence of Co RD 104 and Co RD 149 provides the primary infrastructure connecting these remote ranch sites and landmarks.
