1965 Map of Huey Ranch

About this map

Huey Ranch and Redless Ranch serve as primary landmarks in this mid-1960s survey of the high plains where Morgan, Adams, and Washington Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the sweeping elevation of Pleasant Ridge and the drainage of Badger Creek, which cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure during this era was centered on resource extraction and livestock, evidenced by the Sand River Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Well sites. Transport across the arid terrain relies on a network of straight-line tracks like Seventeenmile Road and Badger Creek Road, alongside a prominent Pipeline that traverses the northern and central sections. Isolated markers such as Toyne Windmill, Windbreak Windmill, and the settlement of Frazier provide essential navigational points for researchers tracing the historical land use and early energy development of this corner of Colorado.
