2013 Map of Battle Canyon

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the landscape in this high plains region of Weld County, where the topography is defined by the sharp descent into Battle Canyon and the winding course of Twomile Creek. This modern survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to conservation and grazing, punctuated by vital water infrastructure in an arid environment. The presence of the Baker Windmill and Two Mile Windmill alongside the Uhl Reservoir indicates the ongoing importance of water management for local agriculture and livestock. A grid of county roads, such as Co Road 138 and State Hwy 71, provides access to this expansive terrain, while geographic features like Sidney Draw and Cedar Creek offer insights into the natural drainage patterns of the Colorado prairie.
