About this map

Peters Ranch sits within a landscape defined by an organized grid of county roads and intermittent waterways in this corner of Weld County. The map details the water management infrastructure essential to this arid region, most notably the Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 1 and its associated Adams and Bunker Number 1 Dam in the southeast corner. Further north, the Eagle Rock Dam marks the upper reaches of the drainage systems.

Several named seasonal watercourses, including Simpson Creek, Geary Creek, and Little Crow Creek, weave through the terrain, while Bull Canyon provides a distinct geographical landmark in the northwest. The strictly numbered road network, including County Rd-138 and County Rd-124, illustrates the systematic parceling of the high plains, where ranching operations like the one at Peters Ranch represent the primary human imprint on the land.
