1950 Map of Klug Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Box Elder Creek meanders through this portion of Weld County, defining a landscape centered on water management and agricultural endurance. The presence of Klug Ranch and the nearby Klug Lake suggests a long-standing family operation integrated into the local hydrology. This 1950 survey, updated with revisions from the mid-1970s, captures a rural area where the infrastructure for groundwater extraction is critical, as evidenced by the high density of labels for Windmill, Well, and specialized sites like Klugs Deep Well. Educational needs for the ranching families are anchored at the Sky View School, located in the northwest portion of the quadrangle. The map reflects a period of Missouri River Basin development, where the reliance on these small-scale water features was essential for maintaining cattle and crops in the semi-arid Colorado plains.
