1972 Map of Carr West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lone Tree Creek and Spotwood Creek carve through the borderlands where Colorado meets Wyoming, defining a landscape of high plains drainage and early transportation corridors. The 1970s cattle and rail economy is evident in the presence of Meadow Springs Ranch and the isolated Warren and Norfolk sidings. Infrastructure dominates the north-south axis, with the Union Pacific and Colorado and Southern railroads running parallel to the interstate highway. This survey documents the transition from early transit routes to modern logistics, notably preserving the path of an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier pioneer-era logistics. Significant landmarks like the Natural Fort and its nearby Natural Fort Rest Area highlight the area's geological and traveler history, while outlying features like Antelope Windmill and Barton Camp point to the dispersed ranching life of the region.
