1973 Map of Buffalo Springs Ranch NE

About this map

Logan County and Washington County meet in this high plains landscape defined by agricultural infrastructure and communication hubs in the early 1970s. The northern portion of the map is punctuated by the Kelly Community Center, a local gathering point for the surrounding rural homesteads. The terrain is marked by the meandering path of Rock Creek, which drains the undulating topography of this portion of the Colorado plains. Extensive utility and communication networks are evident throughout the area, including a prominent Pipeline crossing the southern boundary and multiple signal installations such as the Radio Towers and a specific Radio Facility. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pit operations, supporting the road network of this sparsely populated ranching territory during a period of steady utility expansion.
