1951 Map of Dead Horse Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Dead Horse Springs and the winding Dead Horse Draw define this high plains landscape on the Colorado border of Morgan and Weld counties. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map reveals a remote pastoral territory where water management is the primary driver of development. The southern corner is marked by significant irrigation infrastructure, including the Riverside Canal and the Riverside Ditch, which support the agricultural life of the region. Scattered throughout the townships are numerous Windmills, indicating a reliance on groundwater for livestock across the undulating terrain.
