2013 Map of Masters

About this map

Empire Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2013 survey, anchoring a complex system of irrigation infrastructure in Weld and Morgan counties. The S Platte River bisects the terrain, flanked by the small settlements of Masters and Sublette. This region is defined by its extensive water management network, which includes the Riverside Intake Canal, Bijou Canal, and the Weldon Valley Ditch, all essential to the agricultural viability of the Green City Flats. The presence of the Yocam Ranch Airport and the large Riverside Reservoir to the northwest highlights the dual nature of the land, serving both as a hub for local aviation and a critical water storage area for the surrounding High Plains farms. Researchers can trace the section lines and rural road networks, such as CO Road 52 and Us-34 E, which provide the structural backbone for the dispersed homesteads and ranches in this part of eastern Colorado.
