About this map

Berthoud serves as the central hub of this 1960 agricultural and hydrological landscape, situated at the intersection of the Colorado and Southern railroad and the highway network. The area is defined by an intricate system of water management, evidenced by numerous named bodies such as Lonetree Reservoir, Berthoud Reservoir, and the large Ish Reservoir spanning the county line. This infrastructure supported a developing rural economy just as suburban expansion began to touch northern Colorado.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific community institutions including the Campion Academy and Campion settlement to the north, along with Greenlawn Cem and the Little Thompson Grange. The presence of both the Old Berthoud Sch and Richards Sch highlights the distribution of early educational centers across the Little Thompson River valley, while landmarks like the Athletic Field and Filtration Plant mark the town's mid-century modernization.
