1972 Map of Kimball SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Oil field operations and agricultural section lines define this high plains landscape at the intersection of the Great Plains and the Front Range foothills. Located along the Nebraska-Colorado border, the terrain is shaped by the broad depression of Sidney Draw in the southern portion of the sheet. The map documents a specialized industrial landscape where numerous Oil Wells and a network of pipelines coexist with traditional land use, marked by a systematic grid of fence and field lines. This 1972 survey records the precise boundary where Kimball County, Nebraska, meets Weld County, Colorado, providing a detailed look at the resource extraction infrastructure of the era, including several Gravel Pits concentrated near the state line. The density of petroleum-related features indicates a period of significant energy development in this border region.
