1952 Map of Julesburg SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The arid high plains of Sedgwick County, Colorado, are captured here during a period of transition for rural education and land use in the early 1950s. The landscape is dominated by the winding course of Sand Draw, an intermittent drainage that carves through the undulating terrain. Rural life at this time centered on scattered landmarks such as the Sunny Dale School, while the status of the Miller School (Aband) reflects the consolidation of rural school districts occurring across the Missouri River Basin during this era. High points like Sheep and Saddle provide topographic relief in an area otherwise defined by wide-open grazing land. Numerous water-pumping sites, often marked simply as Windmill, are found throughout the sections, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater for sustaining the livestock operations of the Colorado plains.
