About this map

The community of Hygiene sits at the center of an intricate network of irrigation ditches and reservoirs, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the St. Vrain Valley. This landscape is defined by its water management, where the Saint Vrain Creek feeds a complex system including the Oligarchy Ditch, Rough and Ready Ditch, and Supply Ditch. These waterways support numerous reservoirs such as McIntosh Lake, McCall Lake, and Clover Basin Reservoir, which dot the plains between the prominent elevations of Rabbit Mountain and Table Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several smaller burial grounds, such as the Hygiene N Cemetery, Hygiene S Cemetery, and the Ryssby Church Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for family research. To the east, the edge of Longmont begins to encroach upon the farmland, while the western edge reaches the foothills near Lyons. Significant infrastructure like the Vance Brand Airport and the Table Mountain Antenna Field Sites further distinguish this transition from the plains to the Rocky Mountain front.
