1970 Map of Tribune SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Colony and Richland townships define the landscape of the High Plains in this 1970 survey. The map records a sparsely settled agricultural region near the Kansas-Colorado border, where the land is strictly organized by the township and range grid system. A notable aviation landmark, the Tuttle Landing Field, is situated in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a remote waypoint for rural pilots. The southern portion of the sheet is bisected by a significant Pipeline, an industrial addition to the prairie that cuts diagonally across the section lines. This document captures the transition between Greeley Co and Hamilton Co, documenting the subtle topography of the Great Plains before modern large-scale irrigation and development further altered the drainage patterns and land use of the region.
