1972 Map of Dutch Girl Lake

About this map

Greasewood Flats defines the lower third of this 1972 topographical survey, where the dry terrain of northeastern Colorado meets the expanding energy footprint of the early seventies. The landscape is marked by a network of resource extraction, with numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and generic Well sites scattered across the township grid. This map captures the rural isolation along the county line between Weld Co and Morgan Co, a region where water sources like Dutch Girl Lake were essential landmarks for ranchers and drillers alike. A small, solitary burial site, Pilgrim Cem, sits near the center of the quadrangle, offering a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this corner of the High Plains before modern industrial development fully transformed the open range.
