1951 Map of Omar

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Weld Co Morgan Co line bisects this plains landscape, where the small settlement of Omar sits along the Burlington Northern railroad. The map reflects a water-dependent agricultural economy in the Colorado High Plains, marked by numerous windmills used to tap groundwater for livestock and domestic use. The drainage system is defined by intermittent flows like Kiowa Creek and Jack Rabbit Creek, which cut through the sandy, contoured terrain towards larger catchments. The presence of the West Nile Reservoir (Abandoned) in the southeast suggests shifting water management priorities or environmental changes between the initial 1951 planetable surveys and the late-1970s revisions. To the north, the substantial Empire Reservoir dominates the corner of the quadrangle, serving as a primary landmark in an otherwise sparse region of ranching and rail infrastructure.
