1977 Map of Gatehook Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Midway School stands as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Weld County, surveyed in the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a sparse, agrarian settlement pattern where water sources like Gatehook Spring, Hightower Spring, and Razor Spring dictate the location of ranching infrastructure and remote dwellings. Drainages such as Horsetail Creek and North Pawnee Creek carve through the terrain, which is punctuated by named rises like Loaf. The presence of small settlements like Younglund and Igo near the southern edge at Igo Creek reflects the region's enduring reliance on scattered family-named outposts and seasonal watercourses. Localized industry is noted by several Well sites and a Gravel Pit, marking the intersection of natural resources and rural utility in this northern Colorado expanse.
