2016 Map of Dipper Spring

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the southwestern portion of this Weld County landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Colorado-Nebraska borderlands. The terrain is defined by a series of seasonal waterways and natural springs, most notably Dipper Spring and Antelope Spring, which have long served as vital water sources in this semi-arid region. These hydrological features are complemented by man-made improvements like Hackberry Reservoir, reflecting the area's agricultural and grazing history. The topography is marked by distinct landmarks such as Dipper Hill and the passage of Dipper Gap, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used for movement across the plains. A network of rural routes, including Co RD 64 and Co RD 157, trace the section lines, highlighting the systematic division of the land into the townships of the Weld and Logan County border.
