USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Agricultural development and water management define this mid-century landscape where the Big Thompson River and Little Thompson River converge. The town of Johnstown serves as the central hub, supported by a network of smaller shipping points and sidings including Elwell, Pulliam, and Buda. The map reveals the intricate reliance on gravity-fed irrigation for the local sugar beet and grain economies, with a dense system of canals such as the Hillsboro Ditch and Farmers Extension Ditch crisscrossing the Larimer and Weld county line.
