2013 Map of Dover

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the eastern landscape of this Weld County region, where the high plains terrain is defined by a sparse network of intermittent drainage and essential water management. The settlement of Dover sits at a crossroads of the section-line road system, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. Water resources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of the Giffon Number 1 Reservoir, Giffon Number 2 Reservoir, and Dover Reservoir. These man-made features support the local ecology and economy alongside natural watercourses like Lone Tree Creek and Little Owl Creek. The map documents a meticulously surveyed landscape, with a rigid grid of county roads such as CO Road 114 and CO Road 27 providing access across the expansive grassland flats.
