1973 Map of Platner

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Platner serves as a central point in this 1970s landscape of eastern Colorado, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area exhibits a distinct transition from agricultural land use to energy exploration, evidenced by numerous infrastructure labels including Oil Well, Well, and a Drill Hole scattered across the township grids. These industrial markers coincide with the meandering path of Surveyor Creek, which provides the primary drainage through the undulating terrain. A remote aviation presence is indicated by the Landing Strips in the northern sections, reflecting the necessity of air travel in this sparsely populated region of Washington County. The presence of fine red lines indicating selected fence lines further underscores the organized ranching and farming operations that define the local economy during this era.
