About this map

The high plains of the Larimer Co Weld Co border define this northern Colorado landscape, where the ranching heritage of the region meets modern transportation corridors. The terrain is etched by seasonal watercourses such as Spring Cr and Indian Cr, which feed the Indian-er Reservoir in the northeast. This area maintains its open character, anchored by the small settlement of Bulger along the major interstate route that bisects the western half of the quadrangle.

Remote landing strips and local infrastructure reveal the spread-out nature of this high-country environment. Features like Burnham Field and the Big View Airport are tucked between a network of county roads and family-named thoroughfares like Romar Ranch Rd and Ranchland Ln. The topographical transition across the county line provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Coal Cr and Coalbank Cr as they move through this expansive section of the Front Range foothills.
