2010 Map of Milton Reservoir

About this map

Milton Reservoir dominates the northeastern corner of this Weld County landscape, where irrigation and aviation define the modern rural character. The map documents an intricate network of waterways essential for local agriculture, including the East Speer Canal, Speer Canal, and Beebe Seep Canal, which weave between a strict grid of county roads. The containment of the reservoir is marked at the Milton Lake Dam, near where the Gilmore Ditch departs. To the west, the Kugel-Strong Airport serves as a notable landmark alongside the gentle elevation of Riley Mound. This survey captures the transition of the high plains into a managed agricultural corridor, reflected in newer road names like Beebe Draw Farms Pkwy that suggest residential development encroaching on traditional farmland.
