1962 Map of Uhler Ranch

About this map

Uhler Ranch and the surrounding ranchlands of Logan County are depicted here in the early 1960s, a period when this section of northeastern Colorado was undergoing focused development as part of the Missouri River Basin project. The landscape is defined by its vast agricultural utility and growing industrial infrastructure, notably marked by a large-diameter Pipeline and several Drill Holes indicative of period exploration. The small settlement of Proctor sits in the northern reaches of the sheet, while Harmon serves as a local landmark in the southern half. Transportation and logistics are anchored by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which cuts across the terrain as a vital link for the region's ranching economy. Local resource extraction is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Gas Well, illustrating the intersection of traditional land use and post-war energy development.
