Campo, Colorado, USA

Only with a source of water was life possible on the Great Plains. That made the windmill a God-send for humans and their herds. Mills like this were as independent as the people who settled here. They were self-governing: adjusting themselves to the direction of the wind and its speed. Tanks at the base of the derrick stored the water, and still do. [2018]
