1997 Map of Stoneham NW

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates this portion of Weld County, defining a landscape of complex drainages and prairie infrastructure. The topographical relief is shaped by the intermittent flow of South Pawnee Creek, which winds through the southern and central sections, while Cottonwood Creek and Horsetail Creek cut across the northern reaches. This 1997 revision reflects the region’s persistent reliance on resource extraction and water management, evidenced by numerous scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit. The mapping of subterranean utility corridors, marked by an extensive network of Pipelines and Cables, suggests a landscape deeply integrated into regional energy and telecommunications networks despite its open appearance. Researchers can trace the placement of vital livestock and industrial resources through the recurring locations of Water Tanks and Wells distributed across the high plains.
