1969 Map of Vernon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The North Fork Republican River cuts through the northern edge of this Yuma County landscape, defining a narrow corridor of drainage in an otherwise arid expanse of eastern Colorado. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is characterized by numerous wells and intermittent water features, indicating a reliance on groundwater for the region's agricultural operations. Evidence of localized aviation is unusually prominent for such a sparsely populated area, with private facilities like the Lundvall Brothers Landing Field, Stultz Landing Field, and the Dickson Landing Strip situated across the plains. Large areas of shifting earth are noted by dune labels, suggesting a specialized environment where topography was carefully mapped by photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs.
