1951 Map of Klug Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Klug Ranch and the surrounding high plains of Weld County come into focus during this 1951 survey, which captures a landscape defined by water management and ranching operations. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Box Elder Creek and the presence of Klug Lake to the south. This area demonstrates the reliance on irrigation in the mid-century West, evidenced by the West Neres Canal and the notation of the East Neres Canal (Abandoned), suggesting a shift in local water infrastructure during the era. Small-scale rural life is anchored by the Sky View School and dozens of scattered windmills that dot the terrain, marking the locations of essential groundwater wells for livestock. This map provides a clear record of the settlement patterns and agricultural infrastructure in the Missouri River Basin development area shortly after the war.
