About this map

Lone Tree Creek and Spotwood Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains borderland near the Colorado-Wyoming state line. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape of expansive ranching and intermittent resource extraction, anchored by the Woodhams Quarry in the northern reaches. Small clusters and named locales such as Norfolk, Warren, and Meadow Springs Ranch are connected by a geometric grid of county roads and the arterial route of the I-25 Access Rd.

The presence of landmarks like Antelope Windmill and Lone Tree Windmill underscores the reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Carr sits at a junction of rail and road, while Barton Camp occupies a more isolated position to the west. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land use at the turn of the decade, showing how topography and transport continue to dictate the settlement of the Weld County plains.
