1997 Map of Avalo

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weld County, revealing a specialized system of water management essential for ranching and agriculture in the late twentieth century. The map centers on the small settlement of Avalo and the nearby Liberty Cemetery, providing a specific geographic focus for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Colorado. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Spring Creek, Horsetail Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which are punctuated by an extensive network of named water sources. Features like the Money Saver Windmill, Dipping Windmill, and Liberty Well signify the individual ranching operations and localized land use history of the era. To the northwest, Toedtl Res serves as a more substantial water catchment, while scattered oil wells indicate the industrial activity interspersed with the grassland's traditional agricultural use.
