1978 Map of Cope NW

About this map

The Arikaree River meanders through the high plains of Washington County, defining the drainage patterns of this eastern Colorado landscape. To the north, Gordon Creek feeds into the river system, reflecting the vital role of water management in this arid agricultural region. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 1970s, including a local Substa and the small settlement of Shaffer in the northern reaches. Scattered Well and Wells labels across the quadrangle emphasize the significance of groundwater extraction for the local economy. This 1978 edition, based on earlier aerial photography, documents a period of established rural land use and property boundaries in a quiet corner of the state.
