2016 Map of Cobb Lake

About this map

Wellington anchors the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the intersection of water management and agriculture is clearly visible. The survey captures a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Northern Colorado farming, including the Windsor Ditch, Larimer County Canal, and Cactus Hill Lateral. These man-made channels feed a series of catchments such as Cobb Lake, Mountain Supply Reservoir Number 18, and Indian Cr Reservoir, illustrating how the arid terrain was reclaimed for production. Along the Larimer Co Weld Co line, the topography transitions toward drainage features like Block Hollow Cr and Coalbank Cr. Local history is noted at the Highland Cem near the highway, while Yankee Field and several smaller reservoirs like Lillie Reservoir provide specific points of reference for local genealogy and land-use studies.
