2013 Map of Nunn

About this map

Nunn and Pierce anchor this high-plains landscape along the US-85 corridor in Weld County, where the agricultural grid meets industrial resource extraction. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Pierce Oil Field, illustrating the economic duality of the region. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Pierce Lateral canal and the Coal Bank Watershed CB 1 Reservoir, which support life in a drainage system defined by Lone Tree Creek and Coalbank Creek. Local history is reflected in landmarks like the Mountain View Cem north of Nunn and several private landing strips, including the Shaull Farm Airstrip and Bellmore Farms Airport, which suggest a landscape where vast distances made aerial access a practical necessity for remote farmsteads.
