About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape along the Weld Co Logan Co boundary, where an intricate network of seasonal drainages and water management infrastructure defines the terrain. The hydrological character of the area is centered on Pawnee Creek and its associated features, such as Pawnee Inlet No 2 and the East Stoneham Reservoir. These features, alongside Cottonwood Creek and Spring Creek, trace the natural flow of water across a region that relies heavily on irrigation and storage.

Evidence of energy development and utilitarian infrastructure is scattered throughout the township lines, notably with various Oil Well sites and the curiously named Hot Shot Well. The presence of several Water Tank labels and a network of Pipeline and Cable routes speaks to the modern industrial management of this wide-open environment. The map also captures the confluence of smaller streams like Raymer Creek, showing how the land was surveyed and utilized at the end of the twentieth century.
