2016 Map of Masonville

About this map

Masonville serves as the central settlement in this portion of Larimer County, where the plains meet the rising foothills. The landscape is deeply influenced by water management, featuring a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Handy Ditch, Home Supply Ditch, and Louden Ditch feeding into the Mariano Reservoir and Boedecker Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as the Rhodes Family Cem, Chance Family Cem, and Langston Family Cem. Dramatic geological features define the western edge of the quadrangle, notably the Devils Backbone, the Pillar of Hercules, and The Keyhole, while the Big Thompson River carves through The Narrows. This era shows a mix of rural ranching heritage and the encroaching suburban boundaries of Fort Collins and Loveland.
