1974 Map of De Nova NE

About this map

The High Plains landscape of eastern Colorado is captured here along the dividing line of Washington Co and Yuma Co. The terrain is defined by a rhythmic pattern of undulating dunes and shallow basins, where land use in the mid-1970s was primarily dedicated to ranching and resource extraction. The small settlement of Seedorf appears as a focal point in the northeast, while the Price Ranch indicates the scattered nature of habitation in this arid region. Economic activity is represented by infrastructure such as a Storage Bin and a Gravel Pit, alongside several water wells and an Oil Well that reflect the area's reliance on both groundwater and mineral rights. This survey provides a precise look at the localized fence lines and unimproved roads that connected these remote outposts before modern expansion.
