1960 Map of Eaton

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this High Plains landscape north of Greeley. The Union Pacific railroad serves as the primary spine for growth, connecting the communities of Ault and Eaton. Local history is anchored by the presence of Ault Cem, Eaton Cem, and the rural Wyatt Sch. The map reveals a complex irrigation network essential to the region's economy, including the Eaton Ditch, various unnamed laterals, and the Aqueduct. Small bodies of water like Clark Lake and Cozzens Lake dot the terrain alongside Spring Creek, while industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pits and Barnett Airfield. This 1960 survey illustrates the organized township and range system, with fine dashed lines indicating the fence and field boundaries that partitioned the Weld County prairie.
