2022 Map of Cobb Lake

About this map

Wellington anchors the western edge of this 2022 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by an intricate network of water management. The terrain is marked by essential agricultural infrastructure, including the Windsor Ditch, Cowan Lateral, and Cactus Hill Lateral, which feed numerous storage bodies like Cobb Lake and Hinkley Lake. This irrigation system supports the extensive operations of the Colorado State University Agricultural Research Development and Education Center, a major feature in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. North of the primary settlement, Highland Cem provides a point of genealogical interest, while the eastern reaches are characterized by the winding paths of Black Hollow and Coalbank Cr. The transition from the residential streets of Wellington to the structured research fields and reservoirs illustrates the ongoing agricultural importance of this region near the Larimer and Weld county line.
