1978 Map of Windmill Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lone Tree Creek and Breckenridge Creek carve through this high plains landscape in Crowley County, illustrating the delicate water management of the region in the late 1970s. The presence of Windmill Lake at the center of the quadrangle, along with scattered tanks and a well, highlights the importance of localized water sources for ranching and agricultural operations. An industrial footprint is marked by a pipeline cutting across the northern sections, while the western edge is bounded by the route toward Cudahy Road. This topographic study by the Department of the Interior reveals a sparsely populated terrain where drainage patterns like Dead Horse Creek and Bob Creek dictate the layout of rural access roads and land use boundaries during this era of Colorado's development.
