2022 Map of Stoneham NW

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this section of the High Plains, where the terrain is defined by the branching drainage systems of N Pawnee Cr, S Pawnee Cr, and the main stem of Pawnee Cr. The landscape is a mix of public and private lands, often marked by the Png abbreviation, reflecting the complex checkerboard of federal management and local ranching. In the northern reaches, Cottonwood Cr cuts through the shortgrass prairie near the border of t9n r57w and t9n r56w. A network of rural section-line roads, such as Co Rd 145 and Co Rd 102, provides the primary access across these open reaches. The presence of the US Forest Svc Rd highlights the intersection of public conservation and agricultural use that has shaped this corner of Weld County for decades.
