1972 Map of Keota NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Seven Cross Hill dominates the southwestern portion of this Weld County landscape, where the terrain transitions from open high plains to more complex topographic features. During the early 1970s, this area north of Keota was defined by an economy of resource extraction and natural watercourses. Drainage is managed by Crow Creek and the ephemeral Jackson Draw, which cut through the tablelands. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the scattered industrial sites, including an Oil Well and several Gravel Pit locations, reflecting the region's reliance on mineral and petroleum production. The map provides a detailed look at the section lines and unimproved roads that crisscross the prairie, illustrating the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the Colorado high plains before late-twentieth-century developments.
