1972 Map of Baker Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Baker Draw and its network of ephemeral drainage channels characterize this high-plains landscape in Weld County. This 1972 survey documents an era of resource management and water storage in a semi-arid region, evidenced by Sand Res No 1 and Sand Res No 2. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several small waterways, including Howard Creek, Little Sand Creek, and Sand Creek, which carve subtle depressions through the prairie. Industrial infrastructure is present in the form of a major north-south Pipeline, while the presence of scattered Well sites suggests local ranching or agricultural operations. The map provides a look at the section-line roads and cadastral boundaries typical of this Colorado-Wyoming borderland before modern development altered the rural character of the northern plains.
