1972 Map of Carr SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Colorado and Southern Railroad bisects this high plains landscape, cutting a straight diagonal path through the borderlands of Larimer and Weld counties. In the early 1970s, this area was defined by a ranching and resource economy, evidenced by the presence of the Bulger Windmill and scattered industrial footprints like the Indian Springs Mine and various Gravel Pits. Water management is central to the terrain, with the Owl Canyon Ditch and reservoirs such as Indian Creek Reservoir and Decker-Pierce Reservoir providing vital infrastructure for the arid environment.
