1969 Map of Colony Township NW

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

South Ladder Creek meanders across this High Plains landscape, marking a distinct drainage pattern in an area defined by its vast agricultural townships. This 1968 aerial survey, field-checked in 1969, captures the remote borderlands where Colorado and Kansas meet. The map reveals the intricate surveying of Weskan and Colony townships, where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the placement of rural roads and isolated water sources like Wells and a solitary Well. Evidence of local resource extraction is visible at the Gravel Pit located near the creek bed. The map provides a detailed view of the tri-county intersection of Cheyenne, Wallace, and Greeley counties, illustrating how geopolitical boundaries were etched into the prairie landscape during the late 1960s.
