2013 Map of Buckeye

About this map

Buckeye and the nearby Buckeye Ranch Cem anchor this northern Larimer County landscape, where the high plains meet managed water systems. The terrain is defined by a series of engineered water bodies, including Box I Reservoir Number 1, Barrett Reservoir, and several units of the N Poudre Reservoir Number 15. These reservoirs, connected by irrigation infrastructure like the Buckeye Lateral and Park Cr Lateral, illustrate the intensive water management required for agriculture and industry in this arid region. To the north, the elevation rises toward Gilman Mountain, overlooking Rawhide Flats and the distinct drainage of Wire Draw. The presence of the Wellington Oil Field near the center of the map highlights the area's extraction history, while the small settlement of Ripple sits along the southern roads, showing the persistent footprint of rural Colorado commerce.
