1950 Map of Bracewell

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Cache La Poudre River winds through this Weld County landscape, dividing a heavily irrigated northern plain from the rising draws to the south. By 1950, the region’s agricultural identity is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Greeley No 2 Canal, Western Ditch, and Boomerang DITCH. These systems support small trackside communities like Bracewell and Farmers along the Colorado and Southern (Burlington Route) railway line. The map reveals a changing social landscape, noting several outmoded educational sites such as the Lucas School (Aban'd) and Plain View Sch (Aban'd), while Hazelton School and Ashton School remain active centers. Further south, the terrain shifts into the erosional patterns of Sheep Draw and Ashcroft Draw, where the Greeley Country Club and Drive-In Theatre indicate the post-war expansion of leisure spaces near the growing population centers.
