1949 Map of Sunnydale

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Sunnydale Sch serves as the central landmark in this 1949 topographic study of Adams County, Colorado. The landscape is defined by the wandering path of Lost Creek, which carves through the undulating terrain of the Missouri River Basin. A significant piece of local irrigation history is preserved here in the form of an abandoned Canal, tracing a defunct route north of the creek. Numerous Windmill sites are mapped across the sections, indicating a reliance on groundwater for the agricultural operations that shaped this part of the High Plains. While largely rural, the map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, specifically the boundary between T. 1 S. and T. 2 S., which organizes the sparsely settled territory during the post-war era.
