1971 Map of Haxtun SE

About this map

North Fork Frenchman Creek and South Fork Frenchman Creek converge across this High Plains landscape in Phillips County, revealing a drainage system vital to the local agricultural economy. The map documents a corner of Northeast Colorado in the early 1970s, characterized by expansive sections divided by red-dashed fence lines. While the Haxtun Municipal Airport occupies the northwestern corner, much of the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Sandy Creek and the Spring Frenchman Creek. A segment of the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the northern edge of the sheet, providing a corridor for transport that mirrors the modern Pipeline routes to the south. Genealogists will find the location of the Jarvis Cem near the southern boundary, a quiet landmark in this sparsely settled region.
