1968 Map of Sheridan Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are captured here in the late 1960s, defined by the dry drainage of Buffalo Creek and a landscape engineered for water access and resource extraction. The boundary between Kiowa Co and Prowers Co bisects the southern portion of the map, marking a transition in this rural territory where isolated infrastructure like a Radio Tower and various Wells dot the terrain. Human activity is sparse but specialized, evidenced by a Sandpit and a single structure labeled Shack, suggesting a period when local industry and ranching required only intermittent outposts. This survey provides a clear look at the agricultural and utility network of the region, featuring several installations for livestock and irrigation such as a Water Tank and a Well Water Tank to sustain life in the semi-arid environment.
