1969 Map of Idalia SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Fork Republican River and North Fork Republican River dominate this high plains landscape on the border of Yuma and Kit Carson counties. Mapped in the late 1960s, the terrain reveals a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of eastern Colorado ranching country, where water sources dictate the placement of improvements. The Wood Ranch stands as a primary named landmark in the southwestern quadrant, surrounded by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage features like Sand Creek and Dry Gulch. Numerous wells are marked across the township and range grid, indicating the vital importance of groundwater for livestock and agriculture in this semi-arid environment. Near the southern edge of the survey, a Gravel Pit indicates local industrial activity used for maintaining the region's unimproved road network.
