1950 Map of Bracewell

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Cache La Poudre River winds through this northern Colorado landscape, defining a valley heavily modified by agricultural irrigation. A complex network of water infrastructure, including the Greeley No 2 Canal, Jones Ditch, and Whitney Ditch, underscores the region's reliance on managed water for farming during the mid-20th century. While the settlement of Bracewell serves as a local landmark, the map documents a shifting educational landscape with several rural schoolhouses noted, such as the Hazeltons School and Ashton School, alongside others like the Lucas School (Aban'd) that had already been vacated by this era. The Colorado and Southern railroad tracks parallel the river, connecting these rural outposts. Further south, the landscape transitions toward the Greeley Country Club, marking the edge of suburban expansion into the surrounding draws and hills.
