About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in northern Weld County, revealing a sparse and deliberate arrangement of water management and rural infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Little Crow Creek and Crow Creek, which wind across the township and range lines. Evidence of local ranching and land use is visible through landmarks such as the McKay Windmill and the specific naming of water storage sites like Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 2 and Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 3. The reliance on systematic water conservation is further highlighted by the Edward Madigan Erosion Control Reservoir Number 1. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the county road grid, from Co Road 122 in the north down to Co Road 106, showing how the land was partitioned for grazing and resource protection on the Colorado plains.
