1972 Map of Yuma South

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Yuma serves as the primary hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, where the concentrated street grid of the town site meets the vast agricultural plains. The northern edge of the map is defined by the heavy rail infrastructure of the Burlington Northern, a lifeline for the region's grain-based economy. Local civic life is anchored by several institutions, including the High Sch, Jr High Sch, and a local Hosp, alongside recreational and utility features like Lake Yuma and the Sewage Disposal Ponds. South of the main settlement, the land opens into a pattern of section lines and scattered water wells, highlighting the importance of groundwater for the high plains farms. Technical and industrial markers such as the Municipal Airport, a southern Substa, and a Gravel Pit indicate the gradual infrastructure expansion during the early 1970s and 1980s.
