1950 Map of Milliken
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Irrigated agriculture and a dense rail network define this Weld County landscape, where the Big Thompson River and Little Thompson River converge before joining the South Platte River. The map reveals a complex system of water management essential to the region's development, featuring numerous irrigation works such as the Godfrey Ditch, Mutual Ditch, and Farmers Ditch. Small agrarian settlements like Milliken and Gilcrest serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, while vanished or smaller sidings like Adna, Dent, and Peekham reflect the historical importance of the Union Pacific and Great Western railroads.
