2013 Map of Stoneham NW

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this section of the High Plains, where the drainage patterns of North Pawnee Creek and South Pawnee Creek carve into the flat Weld County landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-based infrastructure of the region, anchored by State Hwy 71 running north-south through the center of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by broad valleys and intermittent watercourses, including the upper reaches of Cottonwood Creek and Pawnee Creek. Evidence of ranching and water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Hole in the Wall Windmill, a specific landmark providing a focal point for researchers interested in local land use. The map also detail the extensive network of county roads, such as CO Road 102 and CO Road 141, which define the section lines of the township and range system.
