1902 Map of Greeley

About this map

The South Platte River and its major tributaries, including the Cache la Poudre River and Thompson River, define the agricultural and industrial corridor of Weld County at the turn of the century. This landscape is a complex network of irrigation and transport, characterized by numerous waterworks like the Ditch systems and several prominent lakes including Seeley Lake and Neff Lake. The burgeoning city of Greeley serves as a regional hub where the Union Pacific R. R. and other lines converge, facilitating the movement of goods from local mines and ranches.
