1997 Map of Baker Draw

About this map

The Pawnee National Grassland dominates this portion of Weld County, revealing a landscape defined by water management and ranching infrastructure in the late 20th century. This area, updated by the Forest Service, is characterized by a dense network of windmills that serve as vital landmarks for navigation and land use, including the Stone Coral Windmill and the curiously named Missile Windmill. The drainage patterns of Little Sand Draw and Little Sand Creek flow through the high plains, feeding into localized catchments such as Sand Res No 1 and Sand Res No 2. These small reservoirs and named water features like Howard Reservoir illustrate the essential engineering required to sustain activity in this arid environment. The map provides a precise look at the distribution of named windmills, from the Murphy Windmill to the Kavr Windmill, which often denote historical family grazing allotments or specific camp locations within the national grassland.
