2022 Map of Keenesburg

About this map

The town of Keenesburg serves as a central hub in this Weld County landscape, where the high plains are transformed by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. Just west, Hudson and the smaller settlement of Roy lie along the corridor of Interstate 76. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water through the Denver-Hudson Canal, Henrylyn Canal, and the Lowline Canal, which feed a series of reservoirs including Horse Creek Reservoir and Prospect Reservoir. This complex system of laterals and ditches, such as the Jim Number 1 Lateral, reflects the region's agricultural dependency and managed water rights. Beyond the town centers, features like the Land Airport and the waterfowl-rich Banner Lakes area provide a look at local land use, while the numerous reservoirs like Ireland Reservoir Number One highlight the transformation of the arid terrain into a productive farming district.
