2019 Map of Point of Rocks

About this map

Point of Rocks rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding high plains of Weld County, defining the western portion of this landscape. The terrain is marked by the drainage of Sanborn Draw, which cuts through the eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern rural grid system, primarily defined by a network of county roads including Co Rd 70, Co Rd 68, and Co Rd 85. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, spanning several townships such as t6n r62w and t5n r61w. This is a landscape of expansive open space, where elevation changes are represented by ten-foot contour intervals, capturing the subtle undulations of the Colorado prairie and the natural basins that characterize this part of the Front Range hinterland.
