1950 Map of Greeley

About this map

The University of Northern Colorado and its surrounding neighborhoods anchor this mid-century look at Weld County's hub. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Cache La Poudre River and the South Platte River, where a complex network of irrigation works like the Greeley No 2 Canal and Latham Ditch supported the region's agricultural transition. Early educational history is preserved through numerous named facilities, from urban centers like Franklin School to rural landmarks such as the Buell School and Olin School.
