1950 Map of Barnesville

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Cem (First Permanent Settlers in Weld Co-1840) serves as a quiet marker of early habitation in this corner of the Missouri River Basin. This survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by agricultural engineering, where the South Platte River and Crow Creek are supplemented by a network of irrigation works, including the Riverside Intake Canal, the Empire Intake Canal, and the Hoover DITCH. Transportation and small-town infrastructure are centered on the Union Pacific line, which supported the community of Barnesville and its associated Barnesville Station and Barnesville School. Further south, the settlement of Kuner sits near the riverbanks, while the presence of Wells Cow Camp and numerous wells across the terrain reflects the cattle and ranching operations of the mid-century era. The detail includes individual farmsteads and a Gravel Pit, providing a granular look at the rural economy before modern expansion.
