2019 Map of Fosston

About this map

Fosston sits at the center of this Weld County landscape, where the high plains meet managed water resources and protected federal lands. The northwestern corner of the quadrangle is occupied by the Pawnee National Grassland, a distinctive area of conservation that preserves the shortgrass prairie. The local drainage is defined by the winding course of Crow Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the terrain toward the south. The human footprint in this semi-arid region is marked by a grid of county roads and specific infrastructure like the Klingenberg Flood Control Number 1 Reservoir and Bidwell Lake. A single notable elevation, Seven Cross Hill, rises in the northeast, providing a rare natural landmark in an area largely dedicated to ranching and open range. The presence of named local routes like Susieville Ln suggests small pockets of habitation and rural development amidst the vast agricultural sections.
