1951 Map of Merino SW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The South Platte River corridor defines the landscape of the Colorado high plains in this 1951 survey, as it winds through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. This riparian zone, protected in part by a State Wildlife Area, provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding terrain where the topography is marked by the Long Slough and Emerson Lake. The map details the transition from the river valley to the higher ground of Hillrose, illustrating the reliance on water management in this arid region.
