1974 Map of Haswell SE

About this map

Spanning the high plains border between Kiowa Co and Bent Co, this topographic survey captures a quiet agricultural landscape defined more by historical infrastructure than dense settlement. The most prominent human feature is the long Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the eastern sections, a vestige of mid-century transport that once connected this remote region to larger rail hubs. A single Radio Tower stands as a modern marker near the center of the sheet, while Potters Lake provides a rare water feature in this arid environment. The map shows the orderly section lines and field boundaries characteristic of Colorado's eastern plains, offering a precise view of land ownership and surveyor markers from the early 1970s.
