1972 Map of Hereford

About this map

Little Crow Creek and Crow Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Weld County. This 1970s topographic study reveals a terrain characterized by subtle elevation changes and an intermittent water network typical of the eastern Colorado steppe. The map shows the branching paths of Geary Creek as it moves across the prairie, providing a detailed record of the natural hydrology and land divisions before more recent agricultural or residential development. It is an essential document for those studying the environmental history and the foundational rural structure of this portion of the Western United States.
