About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the eastern and southern margins of this Weld County landscape, where the high plains terrain is defined by wide drainages and intermittent water features. The topographic data reveals a complex system of shallow depressions and draws, most notably Jackson Draw and the course of Crow Cr in the northwest. This area serves as a transition between open rangeland and the managed conservation areas of the national grassland system.

Human activity is marked by a strict section-line grid of county roads, such as Co RD 89 and Co RD 90, which navigate the subtle elevations of Seven Cross Hill. A distinct point of interest for local history is the William Leon Schawo Airport, situated in the central portion of the quadrangle. This layout reflects the enduring homesteading and ranching patterns of the Colorado plains, where transportation and infrastructure are tied directly to the Public Land Survey System township boundaries.
