2013 Map of Kersey

About this map

The confluence of the S Platte River and the Cache la Poudre River defines this Weld County landscape, where the town of Kersey serves as a southern hub along Us-34 E. This 2013 survey illustrates a high concentration of dairy operations, including Galeton Dairy, Kerbs Dairy, Stout Dairy, and Cockroft Dairy Farms, reflecting the region's agricultural specialty. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Greeley Number 2 Canal, Ogilvy Ditch, and Latham Ditch. These waterways support smaller communities and rural junctions like Gill, Alden, and Cloverly. In the western portion of the map, the eastern edge of Greeley meets The Delta, where Lone Tree Creek and Willow Creek feed into the river system near Scout Island. The map also captures several reservoirs and lakes, including Howards Lake and J B Cooke Reservoir, which provide critical storage in this arid environment.
