About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weld County, where the topography is defined by the sharp rise of the Chalk Bluffs and a network of ephemeral watercourses. This modern survey illustrates the expansive reach of the federal grassland, interspersed with sections of state and private lands. The drainage patterns of Sidney Draw and N Pawnee Cr reveal the natural hydrology of the shortgrass prairie, while seasonal flows like Wild Horse Cr and Igo Cr carve subtle valleys through the arid terrain.

A precise grid of county roads, including Co RD 122 and Co RD 103, provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching and conservation area. These routes follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, a testament to the enduring influence of the original homesteading grids on the contemporary Colorado landscape. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern boundary management and land use within the grassland system.
