1951 Map of Point Of Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The high plains of eastern Weld County are defined by sparse development and the vital necessity of water infrastructure in this 1951 survey. Centered on the distinctive terrain of Point of Rocks, the landscape is primarily organized around the drainage of Sanborn Draw, which cuts through the arid rangeland. Human presence is evidenced by a network of ranching improvements, including numerous Windmills and a specific Water Tank that supported livestock in this portion of the Missouri River Basin. The presence of the Praira School in the northeastern section suggests a once-active rural school district serving the surrounding homesteads. This map captures a specific moment in the mid-century development of Colorado's ranching frontier, documenting the exact locations of essential water sources and the local institutions that sustained small cattle-raising communities.
