1968 Map of Towner SE

About this map

Wild Horse Creek meanders through this high-plains landscape, cutting a distinct drainage path across a region otherwise marked by subtle topography and scattered water Wells. This 1968 survey illustrates the vast, open character of the borderlands where Colorado meets Kansas. Land usage is defined by large-scale tracts such as Richland and Colony, while infrastructure is limited to a diagonal Pipeline and a few local landmarks like the elevated point known as Bones. The map captures the intersection of five counties, including Kiowa, Prowers, and Greeley, highlighting a remote agricultural and resource-gathering era evidenced by a solitary Gravel Pit. It is a precise record of the geometric survey lines that partitioned the western prairie into managed townships and sections.
