About this map

Hyde serves as the primary focal point of this 1970s topographic survey, situated in the High Plains where the Washington Co Yuma Co boundary line divides the landscape. The region's economic drivers are clearly delineated by the presence of the Hyde Oil Field and scattered Gravel Pits, alongside the heavy infrastructure of the Burlington Northern railroad. This rail line connects the small settlements of Suiter and Yuma Siding to the larger agricultural network.

The terrain is defined by the intermittent flow of Surveyor Creek and the notable water feature of Deering Lake to the north. For those tracing family history or local developments, the location of the Hyde Cem south of the main settlement provides a specific point of reference. Numerous wells are mapped across the sections, illustrating the intensive groundwater management and oil exploration efforts characteristic of this part of Eastern Colorado during the mid-20th century.
