2013 Map of Cornish

About this map

The high plains of Weld County are defined here by the sparse settlement of Cornish and the sprawling northern expanse of the Pawnee National Grassland. This section of the Colorado landscape shows a transition from managed agricultural land toward the open range, evidenced by the presence of the Greeley Number 2 Canal in the southwest and the Flying G Ranch further east. A complex network of county roads, including CO Road 88 and CO Road 69, creates a rigid grid across the undulating terrain. Seasonal and ephemeral water systems like Coal Creek and Crow Creek cut through the landscape, alongside smaller features such as Long Lake and Little Sand Creek. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System organization of these townships during the early 21st century.
