1950 Map of Barnesville

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Cem (First Permanent Settlers in Weld Co 1840) marks a site of significant genealogical and local importance, located near the confluence of Crow Creek and the South Platte River. This landscape is defined by the complex agricultural irrigation networks that supported the High Plains during the mid-century, including the Hoover Ditch, Union Pacific Ditch, and Riverside Intake Canal. The small settlement of Barnesville appears as a focal point of rural life, featuring the Barnesville School and a Union Pacific rail stop at Barnesville Station. Further south, the community of Kuner sits near the riverbanks, while the presence of Wells Cow Camp and scattered windmills highlights the region's ranching heritage. The map documents an era when local transport and water rights were the primary drivers of settlement in the eastern Colorado plains.
