1971 Map of Wauneta NE

About this map

The High Plains of Eastern Colorado are documented here in a 1971 study, focusing on the boundary where Phillips Co and Yuma Co meet. The landscape is defined by its topographic undulations and agricultural infrastructure, notably the presence of isolated water sources marked as Well. Small landmarks bearing local names, such as Sheridan and Hargreaves, provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the distribution of homesteads and families in this section of the state. The layout of the terrain and the specific placement of these features reflect the mid-twentieth-century management of this rural expanse, where topography and resource location dictated the pattern of human presence across the county line.
