1965 Map of Huey Ranch

About this map

Pleasant Ridge anchors this landscape in eastern Colorado, where the high plains terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Badger Creek and the expansion of mid-century energy infrastructure. The 1960s were a period of active resource development in the region, evidenced here by the Sand River Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells and a significant Pipeline cutting across the survey. Family ranching operations remain the primary centers of settlement, with named sites such as Huey Ranch and Rediess Ranch serving as local landmarks. The map also traces established rural travel routes like Badger Creek Road and Seventeenmile Road, providing a clear view of how livestock ranching and oil extraction coexisted in Morgan County and Washington County during this era.
