About this map

Patent Creek winds through the northern portion of this High Plains landscape, which is defined by its agricultural grid and the border between Phillips Co and Yuma Co. The map documents a period of rural infrastructure development, characterized by several wells and a traversing Pipeline. Near the southern border, Ford Ch stands as a focal point for the local farming community, situated just north of the county line.

A few industrial and transportation markers dot the terrain, including a Gravel Pit and a designated Landing Strip in the central section. The small settlement of Browns sits on the western edge, providing a rare cluster of residential activity in this otherwise expansive area of sectioned fields and intermittent watercourses. The grid-like precision of the surveying reflects the orderly land management common to this part of the Colorado plains in the early 1970s.
