About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape in Weld County, revealing a territory defined by expansive grazing lands and a sparse network of county roads. The small settlement of Avalo stands as a focal point in an area where water management is paramount for survival. The terrain is etched by seasonal watercourses such as Spring Creek, Horsetail Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which drain toward the north and east.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Liberty Cem located near the center of the survey. The map is particularly notable for its naming of numerous functional landmarks critical to ranching life, including the Money Saver Windmill, Two Timer Windmill, and Little Hole Windmill. These named features, along with the Foothill Reservoir, underscore the agricultural priorities of the region in the early 21st century.
