1972 Map of Leroy

About this map

Leroy sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Logan County, defined by the gentle drainage of ephemeral watercourses and the steady expansion of local industry. This 1972 field-checked survey illustrates a community deeply tied to its geography, with the Leroy Cem and the surrounding township sections organized around the natural flow of Frenchman Creek, the North Fork, and Sandy Creek. The terrain is marked by utility and extraction, featuring a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern and eastern sections and several active Gravel Pit and Gravel Pits sites. These features indicate the practical use of the land for regional infrastructure and resource gathering during the early 1970s, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns and rural development common to this part of eastern Colorado.
