2022 Map of Battle Canyon

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weld County, where a network of section lines and gravel routes like Tower Rd and Co RD 138 define the grazing territory. The terrain is marked by the distinct drainage of Twomile Creek and its tributary Twomile Cr, which carve through the arid topography alongside the namesake Battle Canyon. The presence of Uhl Reservoir and Cedar Cr in the eastern sections highlights the critical role of water management in this open range environment. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, these lands represent the surviving prairie ecosystem of northern Colorado, maintaining the original survey grid established during the settlement of the American West. The map reveals the intricate boundaries of public and private land, often marked as PNG, within the sprawling federal holdings.
