1978 Map of Westplains

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Westplains anchors this High Plains landscape in Logan County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainages of George Creek, Cedar Creek, and Twomile Creek. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the map reveals an economy tied to both the surface and the subsurface, marked by numerous energy and mineral extraction sites. The presence of Oil Wells, a Gas Well, and a Drill Hole across the sections indicates active petroleum exploration during this period, while the Gravel Pit White in the northwest corner highlights local aggregate production. The terrain is characterized by broad draws and the branching paths of Brush Creek, illustrating the natural water management patterns of the Colorado prairie before extensive modern development.
