1965 Map of Gary

About this map

Gary and the small settlement of Stivers anchor this mid-century survey of the high plains along the border of Morgan and Washington counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek and the drainage of Buck Creek, set against a rural grid marked by extensive industrial and agricultural infrastructure. Numerous wells and oil wells dot the terrain, signaling the importance of energy extraction in this region. Significant utility corridors, including a Pipeline and an Aqueduct, cut across the sections, while Gary Road provides the primary north-south transit. Modern updates to the 1965 survey are captured in purple revisions from the early 1980s, documenting fine-grained changes like fence lines and local developments that shaped this portion of the eastern Colorado plains.
