2013 Map of Point of Rocks

About this map

Point of Rocks rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Weld County, defining a landscape marked by wide open spaces and a structured grid of rural infrastructure. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area's transition into the 21st century, where the natural drainage of Sanborn Draw intersects with an extensive network of county routes. The map shows the systematic organization of the land into townships like t006n r062w and t005n r062w, a pattern typical of the High Plains where ranching and agricultural access are facilitated by roads such as Co Road 70 and Co Road 85. The sparse settlement pattern emphasized here suggests a region dedicated to large-scale land use, with few named points of interest outside the essential transportation corridors and topographical markers.
