1951 Map of Dead Horse Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Dead Horse Springs anchors this 1951 survey of Morgan County, where the high plains terrain is defined by its water management and sparse rural infrastructure. The landscape features a sprawling network of windmills supporting livestock across the open range, while the southeastern corner reveals more intensive agricultural development near the Riverside Canal. Local education and communication are represented by the solitary Victory School and a Television Relay Station, highlighting the reach of modern services into this cattle-grazing territory. The eponymous Dead Horse Draw carves a path through the center of the sheet, providing a natural drainage corridor toward the canal system. This map captures the mid-century balance between traditional ranching practices and the burgeoning technological expansion into rural Colorado.
