About this map

Hygiene sits at the heart of an intricate network of irrigation ditches and reservoirs that defines the agricultural landscape north of Longmont. This survey showcases the heavy reliance on surface water management in Boulder County, with numerous features like McIntosh Lake, Lagerman Reservoir, and the Oligarchy Number 1 Dam supporting the surrounding plains. The presence of the Ryssby Church and its accompanying Ryssby Cemetery highlights the Swedish heritage of the early settlement era, while several other cemeteries including Weisner Cemetery and Hygiene North Cemetery offer significant points of interest for local historians and genealogists.

Industrial activity is prominent through various mineral extraction sites such as the Martin Marietta Limestone Quarry and the Marnette Pit near the eastern edge. Natural landmarks like Rabbit Mountain and Table Mountain provide topographic contrast to the developed areas around the Vance Brand Airport. The map also captures the sprawling suburban expansion of Longmont as it moves toward the smaller communities of Marnett and Dominion.
