About this map

The Pawnee National Grassland dominates the southern reaches of this landscape where the high plains of northern Weld County meet the Wyoming border. This terrain is defined by a sparse but essential network of water sources, including the drainage of Muddy Creek in the north and the centrally located Spring Creek. The presence of the Gardner Reservoir highlights the critical role of water management in this arid agricultural and grazing region. Organized by the Public Land Survey System, the area is subdivided into township and range blocks such as t13n r61w and t12n r61w, with a grid of county roads including CR-159, CR-206, and CR-203 providing the primary access across the open range. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the borderlands, where state lines and section boundaries dictate the layout of the modern landscape.
