About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weld County, Colorado, where agricultural research and water management define the human footprint. The map documents the intricate infrastructure of the Central Plains Experimental Range, including the Central Plains Experimental Range Headquarters and the Engineering Experimental Station (State). These facilities highlight the region's importance as a site for studying semi-arid ecology and rangeland management.

Survival in this arid environment is written across the terrain in the form of numerous water features. A network of wells, tanks, and named water sources like Cheever Windmill and Peterson Windmill are scattered among the drainages of Owl Creek and Eastman Creek. This 1997 revision provides a precise record of the pipelines and windmills essential to maintaining livestock and research operations across these vast public lands.
