1962 Map of Uhler Ranch

About this map

The high plains of Logan County are captured here in the early 1960s, defined by the industrial and agricultural infrastructure of northeastern Colorado. The small settlement of Proctor serves as a key point of interest along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which cuts a diagonal path across the landscape. The namesake Uhler Ranch and the locality of Harmon anchor the rural survey, reflecting the area's established ranching legacy. Evidence of mid-century resource extraction and energy development is visible through numerous Drill Holes, several Gravel Pits, and a prominent Pipeline traversing the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map provides a technical look at land use during this period, showing the transition between open range and the organized corridors of transportation and utility that supported the region's economy.
