1978 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham sits in the high plains of northern Colorado, serving as a focal point for the ranching and energy landscape of the late 1970s. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a straight line through the northern part of the quadrangle, paralleling the course of South Pawnee Creek and Pawnee Creek. This area of the state is defined by its wide drainage basins, including Wildcat Creek to the south, and a scattered network of petroleum extraction sites. Numerous oil and gas wells dot the terrain, signaling the industrial importance of the region at this time. Evidence of rural infrastructure is visible in the presence of a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, while the southern boundary marks the transition across the Weld Co Morgan Co line.
