About this map

The Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape where the border between Weld and Logan Counties meets. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by water scarcity and relief, where natural features like Dipper Spring and Antelope Spring have historically served as critical landmarks for travelers and livestock. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably at Dipper Hill and the adjacent Dipper Gap, which provide a natural break in the rolling shortgrass prairie.

Ranching operations are anchored by the Cervi Ranch in the south, while the intermittent flows of George Creek and Cedar Creek drain the dissected tablelands. Evidence of land management and water storage is visible at the Hackberry Reservoir, situated north of Battle Canyon. This map serves as a primary record of the network of county roads, such as Co Road 157 and Co Road 70, that stitch together these isolated draws and canyon lands.
