1978 Map of Vilas South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Vilas sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, anchoring a rural grid defined by agricultural and energy development in the late 1970s. The terrain is marked by the intermittent drainage of Dry Creek and the broader sweep of Sand Arroyo as they cut through the section lines of Baca County. This 1978 survey highlights the infrastructure of the local economy, ranging from the Cottrell site to a widespread network of Gas Wells and an Oil Well. A prominent Pipeline and a central Pumping Sta underscore the industrial shift towards subsurface resource extraction during this period. For those tracing the evolution of southeastern Colorado, the map records numerous Wells and an occasional Drill Hole, illustrating the systematic search for water and energy resources across this semi-arid region.
