About this map

Loveland serves as the central hub of this 1960s-era landscape, where the agricultural water needs of Larimer County are met by an extensive network of reservoirs and canals. Large bodies of water like Lake Loveland (Loveland and Greeley Res) and Horseshoe Lake (Seven Lakes Res) dominate the terrain, illustrating the region's historical reliance on irrigation. The map highlights the town's industrial and civic infrastructure, including the Sugar Refinery on the east side and educational landmarks like Loveland High Sch.

Transit patterns are defined by the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads, which bypass the expanding suburban purple-tinted areas. To the north, the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport and the Boyd Lake State Recreation Area represent the growing leisure and transportation demands of the mid-century period. Smaller local points of interest, such as Hollowell Corner and the Drive In Theater, offer a localized view of 1960s community life.
