About this map

Fort Lupton and Brighton anchor this 2013 survey of the South Platte River corridor in Weld County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Colorado agriculture, including the Lupton Bottom Ditch, Brantner Ditch, and Fulton Ditch. These waterways support numerous storage sites like the H A Smith Reservoir and the Munger Reservoir Number 1.

Beyond the primary municipal centers, the map details smaller settlements such as Wattenberg, Powars, and the residential layout of Aristocrat Ranchettes in the northeast. Local landmarks of interest to genealogists and historians include the Hillside Cem and Smith Mound, alongside the central S Platte River which remains the primary geographical feature of the region. The map captures a transitional landscape where established town grids meet expansive water-management systems.
