1973 Map of Pinneo

About this map

Pinneo serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape, where the agricultural and energy sectors of northeastern Colorado intersect. Situated along the Burlington Northern railroad, the small settlement of Pinneo and the nearby Midway reflect the rail-dependent transport patterns of the era. The industrial character of the region is further defined by the West Xenia Oil Field and numerous scattered drill holes and wells, indicating the importance of petroleum extraction to the local economy. An Aqueduct cuts across the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required for water management in this semi-arid environment. The boundary between Morgan and Washington Counties runs vertically through the survey, providing a clear reference point for genealogists and local historians tracing property lines and jurisdictional history in the early 1970s.
