1969 Map of Colony Township NW

About this map

South Ladder Creek meanders through the high plains of the Colorado-Kansas border, carving a shallow valley across a landscape defined by township boundaries and sparse agricultural development. This late-1960s survey documents the intersection of Cheyenne County and Greeley County along the state line, where the arid terrain is marked primarily by scattered wells and a small Gravel Pit. The map captures the quiet transition between Weskan and Colony, illustrating a region where surveyor lines and natural watercourses dictate the human imprint on the land. The presence of these boundary markers and isolated industrial points provides a specific record of land use and resource extraction in a low-density rural corridor during the late twentieth century.
