About this map

The high plains of Weld County surround Briggsdale, a settlement situated along the southern edge of the Pawnee National Grassland. This 2016 survey details a landscape defined by its ephemeral watercourses and grazing lands, where drainage networks like Crow Cr, Willow Cr, and Little Crow Cr carve through the terrain. Human presence is anchored at the intersection of local routes such as Co RD 77 and Co RD 90, with the town center organized around Main St and Lee St.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Briggsdale Cem and Crow Valley Park just north of the townsite. The topography includes notable landmarks like Seven Cross Hill to the east and two small bodies of water, Heart Reservoir and Murphy Reservoir, which provide essential catchments in this arid environment. The map clearly delineates the checkerboard boundaries of the national grassland, illustrating the complex land management patterns common in the American West.
