1973 Map of Buffalo Springs Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Buffalo Springs Ranch serves as the primary namesake for this section of eastern Colorado, where the high plains landscape is defined by its sparse water sources and ranching utility. In the early 1970s, the terrain was marked by a series of Springs that supported local livestock operations, while Twenty-two Slough cut a natural drainage path across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a highly functional landscape of section lines and fence lines, punctuated only by occasional infrastructure like a Gravel Pit or scattered Well sites. This survey records a specific moment in Washington County's history, documenting the remote ranching life and agricultural development of the region before further modernization. The presence of a label for Horse suggests specific land use or local landmarks that were significant enough to be noted during the 1973 field check.
