1971 Map of Wray NW

About this map

High plains terrain in Yuma County defines this landscape, mapped during a 1971 field check. The area is characterized by sparse development and a reliance on groundwater, evidenced by numerous Well sites distributed across the township grids of T. 3 N. and T. 2 N.. The most prominent named landmark is Bushong, situated in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Industrial and utility infrastructure is minimal but specific, featuring a Substa and a Gravel Pit located in the southwestern and southeastern sections. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of eastern Colorado before the further intensification of center-pivot irrigation and modern agricultural shifts in the late 20th century.
