1972 Map of Chalk Bluffs SW

About this map

Central Plains Exper. Range Hdqrs. anchors this portion of Weld County, serving as a focal point for agricultural research in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage channels, including Owl Creek, Cow Creek, and Eastman Creek, which carve through the high plains terrain. This topography illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region before significant modern development, showing the complex interplay of Coal Creek and Robinson Creek as they move across the township lines. A few scattered Wells suggest a reliance on groundwater for the ranching and experimental operations that dominate this section of Colorado. The map traces the division between Township 10 North and Township 11 North, providing a precise record of land management and use during this period of the twentieth century.
