1971 Map of Wray NW

About this map

The High Plains of Yuma County are defined by a complex network of geological depressions and water management in this 1971 study, revised through 1984. The landscape is marked by numerous Wells, reflecting the essential nature of groundwater for agricultural and residential sustainability in this part of eastern Colorado. Near the center of the sheet, the named terrain of Bushong stands out amidst the contours, while the southern edge is anchored by the corridor of Highway 385. Infrastructure and industrial use are visible through features like the Substa and a Gravel Pit located near the western boundary. Precision markers, including Bm 3712 and Bm 3691, provide a record of early 1970s surveying benchmarks for the region.
