1951 Map of Reiradon Hill

About this map

North Reiradon Hill and South Reiradon Hill anchor this rural Logan County landscape during the early 1950s, surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching and utility corridor, where numerous Windmills signify the critical importance of groundwater in this high plains environment. Public infrastructure of the era is evident through the State Patrol Pistol Range and the State Patrol Radio Relay Station, reflecting the mid-century expansion of state communications. Education and community life are grounded at the Fyffe School and Eagle Point School, while local topography is punctuated by features like The Cave and Eagle Point Hill. The presence of a Buffalo Camp and a private Airstrip further illustrates the specialized land use found in this part of northeastern Colorado.
