2010 Map of Prospect Valley

About this map

Prospect Valley and its surrounding agricultural plains are defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure and rural settlements in eastern Colorado. The landscape is marked by the presence of significant water management features, including the Lowline Canal and the Henrylyn Canal, which feed into local catchments like Lord Reservoir and Olds Reservoir. These reservoirs, supported by the D A Lord Number 4 Dam and Olds Dam, sustain the local farming economy. Small clusters and individual localities like Krauss, Johnson, Sheehan, and Sloan are positioned along a strictly gridded road system. The area also supports regional aviation with specialized facilities such as the Horseshoe Landings Airport and the Air Dusters Incorporated Airport, reflecting the intersection of modern agricultural services and traditional land use in Weld County.
