About this map

Hale sits at the southern edge of this landscape, a small community shaped by its proximity to the S Fork Republican River. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage patterns, including the winding Sand Cr and Armknecht Cr, which cut through the high plains of Yuma County. Much of the local infrastructure supports the agricultural and water management needs of the region, evidenced by the presence of the Hale Ditch and the expansive waters of the Bonny Reservoir.

Family history is anchored here at the Downey Cem, located on the eastern edge of the survey area. The land is organized by a strictly defined grid of county roads, such as Co RD HH and Co RD 11, which partition the sections of the high plateau. This 2016 survey captures the area at a time when the interplay between the Republican River's natural flow and man-made water systems dictated the local settlement pattern.
