1960 Map of Buckeye

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Rawhide Flats and the high point of Gilman Mountain characterize this high plains landscape during the early 1960s. The settlement at Buckeye serves as a focal point for a complex irrigation network, including the Park Creek Lateral and the North Poudre Ditch, which redirect water through this arid terrain. This water management system is further evidenced by a series of reservoirs such as Boxelder Res No 1 and Reservoir No 15. Evidence of former transportation infrastructure appears in the form of an Old Railroad Grade passing through Ripple, suggesting a shift in the local transit and shipping economy. Near the southern edge, the Wellington Field and features like Bubbles Lake and Caverly Lake illustrate the specific hydrological and industrial modifications made to the Larimer County landscape to support regional development.
