1960 Map of Berthoud

About this map

The Little Thompson River carves through this Larimer County landscape, defining a region where water management and agriculture have long shaped the community. The town of Berthoud serves as a central hub, flanked by an extensive network of irrigation features including Lonetree Reservoir, Welch Reservoir, and the significant Ish Reservoir (Boulder and Larimer Co Res) on the southern boundary. This map reveals the educational and social infrastructure of the mid-20th century, from the Campion Academy and Richards Sch to the Old Berthoud Sch. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor, running parallel to Burlington Avenue, illustrates the vital transport link connecting these agricultural settlements. Revisions shown in purple reflect the expansion of Loveland and Berthoud as they grew beyond their original footprints in the decades following the initial 1960 field check.
