USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Severance serves as the focal point of this Weld County landscape, where an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure enabled the transformation of the high plains. The map meticulously documents the distribution of water through the Great Western Canal, Eaton Ditch, and Law Ditch, which feed a series of family-named reservoirs and lakes including Woods Lake, Swanson Lake, and Baldridge Lake. This hydraulic engineering supported both agriculture and the region's burgeoning energy sector.
