About this map

Avalo and the surrounding high plains of Weld County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and scattered ranching infrastructure in the late 1970s. The landscape is carved by the ephemeral paths of Horsetail Creek and Spring Creek, which intersect near the small settlement of Avalo. Human presence in this semi-arid environment is anchored by specific landmarks such as the Liberty Community Center and the nearby Liberty Cem, reflecting the social and commemorative hubs of this rural community.

The presence of numerous infrastructure markers, including Well sites, Drill Hole locations, and a Gravel Pit, underscores the area's reliance on groundwater management and resource extraction. While the land is largely open, localized features like Toedli Res and various Tank labels indicate the vital importance of water storage for livestock and agriculture in this portion of northeastern Colorado.
