About this map

Burdett and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Washington County define this early 1970s survey. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Rock Creek in the northern portion of the quadrangle, where a local Gravel Pit indicates small-scale industrial activity. Settlement is sparse, represented by the small community at Hansen and the quiet presence of Hope Cem to the south.

A network of unimproved roads and sections of Pipeline cut across the contours, reflecting the infrastructure of the High Plains during this era. The map provides a clear record of land divisions between R. 50 W. and R. 49 W., offering genealogists and local historians a precise view of the rural homesteads and family-named landmarks that anchored this part of Colorado before further modern consolidation.
