1977 Map of Thurman

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Thurman occupies a central position in this prairie landscape, where the High Plains of eastern Colorado are carved by the shifting drainage of the North Fork Arikaree River. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map reveals a sparsely settled agricultural region defined by section lines and isolated homesteads. The Thurman Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark north of the main settlement area, while the presence of a Sandpit near the river fork indicates the local extractive activity common to these plains. The terrain is further marked by numerous wells, essential for sustaining life and livestock in this semi-arid environment. The complex meeting of three counties—Washington, Lincoln, and Kit Carson—is clearly delineated across the southern half of the sheet, reflecting the administrative geometry of the rural West.
