2022 Map of Greeley

About this map

The Greeley area, along with its neighboring communities of Evans, Garden City, and Rosedale, is defined by a complex irrigation network essential to this region of the High Plains. Tracing the legacy of early western water law, the map shows the Greeley Number 2 Ditch, Ogilvy Ditch, and Latham Ditch as they draw from the Cache la Poudre River and South Platte River. These waterways supported the development of outlying settlements like Lucerne and Cloverly and fueled the growth of the University of Northern Colorado at the heart of the city. Historical landmarks, including the Weld County Courthouse and the expansive grounds of Linn Grove Cem, anchor the urban grid. Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into Pleasant Valley, where older place names like Mumper Corner and Mason Corner mark the rural intersections of Weld County.
