About this map

The Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape of Weld County during the late twentieth century, characterized by its wide-open expanses and sparse human infrastructure. In the southeastern corner, the presence of the Zion Church and an adjacent Cemetery marks a quiet center for the local community near the winding Sidney Draw. This area reflects the functional requirements of cattle ranching and modern defense in the West, featuring several named landmarks like the Poston Windmill, Grassy Flat Windmill, and Big Hole Windmill. Perhaps most striking is the Missile Site located near the eastern boundary, a tangible reminder of the Cold War era's impact on these isolated northern Colorado plains. The map also details a network of technical sites including a Communication Tower and a Drill Hole, illustrating the region's role in telecommunications and resource exploration.
