1971 Map of Wauneta

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Wauneta represents a quiet pocket of eastern Colorado, documented during a period of transition in the early 1970s and updated with aerial data in the 1980s. The landscape of Yuma County is defined here by its agricultural utility and semi-arid terrain, where a high density of irrigation infrastructure is apparent. Numerous sites marked simply as Well are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating the critical importance of groundwater to the local economy and survival in this high plains region. While the small settlement of Wauneta serves as the focal point, the map primarily illustrates the expansive, organized grid of land use and the subtle topographic variations that characterize the area's geography.
