2019 Map of Prospect Valley

About this map

The agricultural landscape of eastern Weld County is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and small rural settlements. In this 2019 survey, the town of Keenesburg anchors the northwest corner, while the namesake Prospect Valley community sits centrally, surrounded by scattered holdings like Krauss, Johnson, and Sloan. The region's reliance on water management is evident through the path of the Henrylyn Canal, Lowline Canal, and the Prospect Lateral Sub Number 2 Ditch, which feed vital catchments such as Lord Reservoir and Olds Reservoir. This map illustrates the transition from traditional farming to specialized aviation, shown by the presence of The Farm Airport and Air Dusters Inc Airport, reflecting the modern infrastructure required for aerial crop applications. The terrain is marked by intermittent drainages including Lost Cr and Sand Creek, which navigate the grid-patterned county roads that organize this high plains territory.
