About this map

Buckeye and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Larimer County are defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water storage. The area is marked by numerous numbered reservoirs, including Box Elder Reservoir Number 2 and Boxelder Reservoir Number 1, which manage the flow of Rawhide Cr and Boxelder Cr across the high plains. This reliance on water management is further evidenced by man-made channels like the Park Cr Lateral and Buckeye Lateral.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Buckeye Ranch Cem situated near the intersection of Buckeye Rd and Terry Lake Road, a quiet landmark in a region of large-scale ranching and water projects. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Rawhide Flats, rising toward Gilman Mtn in the northwest corner. The map also traces various country roads like Owl Canyon Rd and Hackamore Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and reservoir sites of this northern Colorado corridor.
