2016 Map of Barnesville

About this map

Barnesville and Matthews anchor the northern landscape of this Weld County region, where the high plains transition into a complex irrigation network. The southern edge of the map is defined by the South Platte River, a vital water source that feeds a sophisticated system of agricultural infrastructure. Traces of this water management are visible through the Greeley Number 2 Canal, Empire Intake Canal, and Riverside Intake Canal, which divert the river to support the surrounding farmland. Historically significant landmarks such as the Gerry Cem are preserved here, offering a focal point for genealogical research. The grid-like road system, including Co RD 392 and Weld Co RD 61, connects these small communities and rural properties, illustrating the persistent agricultural character of the area near Kuner.
