1968 Map of Hygiene

About this map

Hygiene serves as a central point in this late-1960s landscape, illustrating a complex network of agricultural water management north of Longmont. The map documents an intricate system of reservoirs and ditches, including Mc Intosh Lake, Clover Basin Reservoir, and Lagerman Reservoir, which supported the region's farming economy. The transition from the high plains to the foothills is marked by Rabbit Mountain and Indian Mountain in the west, while the expanding footprint of Longmont reaches toward Marnett and Dominion. Notable infrastructure of the era is evident in the Longmont Municipal Airport and the specialized Antenna Field Sites near Table Mountain. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Rymby Ch and various filtration plants that supported the growing population center along St Vrain Creek.
