1972 Map of Baker Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Baker Draw and its complex network of ephemeral drainages characterize this high plains landscape in Weld County. Recorded during the early 1970s, the map highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid region, featuring several unnamed watercourses alongside Howard Creek and Little Sand Creek. The presence of Sand Res No 1 and scattered well sites points to the ranching and agricultural foundations of the area, where land use was heavily dependent on capturing seasonal runoff. Industrial development is marked by a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain, reflecting the energy infrastructure expanding through the Colorado plains during this period. The survey's detailed contour lines reveal the subtle, eroding breaks and draws that define the local topography between more established creek beds like Sand Creek.
