About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weld County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral Sidney Draw and a series of vital water sources. The presence of Sunnyside Cem along the northern section of CO RD 134 provides a specific anchor for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. These vast grazing lands are interspersed with isolated springs that have served as critical landmarks for generations, including Dolan Spring, Deer Spring, and Willow Spring.

The map's survey lines, such as t12n r59w and t11n r58w, reflect the systematic organization of the American West. These boundaries, paired with the network of county roads like Co RD 119 and Co RD 128, trace the enduring infrastructure of rural Colorado. This documentation of the area's few developed features, including Hillman Spring and Razor Spring, offers a precise record of the environmental and historical geography of the northeastern plains.
