About this map

South Roggen sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by seasonal drainage and agricultural infrastructure in Weld County. This mid-century survey reveals the transition between the plains and the rolling breaks of the Colorado prairie, featuring prominent landmarks like Dido and De Spain. The presence of the Henrylyn Canal (Abandoned) at the southern boundary highlights a shift in water management and land use during the development of the Missouri River Basin.

A network of watercourses, including Long Lost Creek, Hay Gulch, and Kiowa Creek, patterns the terrain, while the inclusion of a Television Relay Station notes the mid-twentieth-century modernization of rural communication. The map also delineates the boundary between Weld and Adams counties, providing a precise record of the administrative and topographic character of the region as it was documented in 1950.
