About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the northern landscape of this High Plains survey, reflecting the conservation and land-use shifts of the late twentieth century. This specific quadrangle captures the boundary between Weld and Morgan Counties, revealing a terrain defined by sparse water sources and industrial exploration. Scattered Wells and a prominent Pipeline in the southeast corner indicate the region's reliance on subterranean resources, while several Drill Holes point to geological testing across the open range.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Horst Cemetery, situated near the center of the sheet in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of undeveloped land. The topography is shaped by ephemeral drainages like Coal Bank Draw, which cuts through the southwest portion of the map. This 1997 revision provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the Colorado plains, where section lines and isolated landmarks remain the primary markers of human presence.
