1960 Map of Cobb Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Cobb Lake and the surrounding irrigation network dominate this Weld County landscape, reflecting the intensive water management required for high-plains agriculture. The topography is defined by the Windsor Ditch and numerous storage sites including Indian Creek Reservoir, Clark Reservoir, and Morris Reservoir. Near the western edge, the town of Wellington appears alongside the Highland Cem, serving as a local hub for the surrounding farmsteads. The map illustrates a developed hydraulic system where natural drainages like Black Hollow Creek and Boxelder Creek are diverted and utilized through various laterals. Prominent landforms such as Cactus Hill rise above the basin, providing a contrast to the reservoir-dotted plains where early industrial activity is evidenced by scattered wells and gravel pits.
