2013 Map of Klug Ranch

About this map

Box Elder Creek meanders through this portion of Weld County, defining a landscape shaped by persistent irrigation efforts and ranching operations. The map documents a structured network of rural routes, including CO Road 49 and CO Road 20, which segment the terrain into precise grids typical of the American West's Public Land Survey System. Water management is a central theme here, evidenced by the presence of the Neres Canal and W Neres Canal in the northwest, which divert vital resources toward agricultural lands. Family-named landmarks such as Klug Ranch and the nearby Lutz Ranch highlight the area's history of private landholdings, while Klug Lake serves as a notable hydrologic feature in the southwestern quadrant.
