1909 Map of Livermore

About this map

The North Fork Cache la Poudre River and its sister forks dominate this high-plains and foothills landscape in northern Larimer County. At the turn of the century, Fort Collins appears as a structured grid alongside the C and S R R, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with nascent water management systems like Richard Lake (Res No 6) and Douglas Lake (Res No 10). The map documents a transition from the agricultural valley floor into the timber and mineral lands of the Medicine Bow National Forest.
