1951 Map of Omar

About this map

Chicago Burlington and Quincy tracks diagonally across this high plains landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the small settlement at Omar. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and water management features, including the Empire Reservoir in the northeast and the dry basin of West Nile Reservoir (Abandoned). These water sources, along with numerous labeled Windmill and Well locations, illustrate the critical infrastructure required for ranching and agriculture in the semi-arid environment of the Weld and Morgan county line.
