1978 Map of Stacy Lakes Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Rush Creek and its seasonal drainage, Stacy Lakes Draw, define the hydrology of this high plains borderland where Lincoln and Cheyenne counties meet. Mapping in the late 1970s reveals a landscape focused on ranching and water management, centered around the ephemeral Stacy Lakes and reliable watering points like Stacy Spring. This era shows the persistence of remote outposts such as Brown Mill Ranch and the small settlement of Trade, which anchoring the local transport network. The presence of several Gravel Pits and scattered Wells illustrates the ongoing extraction of local resources and the necessity of groundwater for sustaining the area's agricultural operations. The map provides a clear picture of the vast open-range character of eastern Colorado before more modern land-use changes.
