1969 Map of Schramm

About this map

Burlington Northern rails cut across the northern plains of Yuma County in this 1969 survey, where the small settlement of Schramm sits near prominent Storage Bins. The landscape is defined by the agricultural and extractive needs of the High Plains, evidenced by the numerous Well sites and a Gravel Pit located along the rail corridor. Further south, the terrain rises toward Mount Yuma, a notable local landmark near the Pletcher area. This map illustrates the intersection of industrial transport and rural land management, with the Base Line survey mark anchoring the southern boundary. The topography reveals the subtle drainage patterns and depressions characteristic of this part of eastern Colorado, offering a clear view of the area's development before modern shifts in regional infrastructure.
