About this map

Antelope Reservoir and its surrounding water management systems define this high-plains landscape in northern Colorado. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of irrigation and storage, including the Lone Tree Ditch, Pierce Lateral, and Collins Lateral, which support agricultural activity across the Weld County terrain. These engineered waterways redirect flows from natural drainages like Lone Tree Creek and Owl Creek into strategically placed basins such as Rowe Brothers Reservoir and McGrew Reservoir.

Evidence of local industry and rural life appears in the presence of the King Solomon Mine and the Weld County Gravel Pit, highlighting the extraction history of the region. Distinctive landmarks like the Rush Windmill and McGrew Dam offer precise points of reference for researchers tracing property lines or historical land use. The map reveals how the gridded road system, featuring routes like County Rd-100 and County Rd-37, interacts with the natural topography of Eastman Basin.
