About this map

The town of Wellington anchors the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where early 21st-century residential developments like those along Inspiration Dr and Woodlake Ln meet a sophisticated network of agricultural water management. The area is defined by its reliance on irrigation, visible through the complex path of the Windsor Ditch, Larimer County Canal, and the Cactus Hill Lateral. These waterways feed numerous storage points including Cobb Lake, Lillie Reservoir, and Mountain Supply Reservoir Number 18.

Dividing the map is the Larimer Co Weld Co boundary, which cuts through the depression of Black Hollow. To the west, Highland Cem and the Yankee Field Airport serve as local landmarks near the Interstate corridor. The geography reveals a transition from the established grid of the town site to the large-scale ranching and farming tracts that utilize the seasonal flows of Boxelder Creek and Indian Creek.
