1977 Map of Walker Point

About this map

Walker Point rises as a prominent landmark above the eastern Colorado plains in this 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Ninemile Flats, a region marked by its semi-arid drainage patterns and numerous isolated water sources. Intermittent waterways such as Dead Horse Creek and Lone Tree Creek cut through the terrain, while several Springs and individual Spring locations indicate the critical role of groundwater for ranching and livestock in this portion of the High Plains. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Lincoln and Crowley counties. This topography reveals a high-altitude prairie environment where water is the primary driver of the sparse development pattern, evidenced by the scattered distribution of named wells and water holes across the open range.
