About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this portion of the northern Front Range, where the Cache La Poudre River winds through the Poudre Valley. Large-scale irrigation is evident in the expansive footprints of the Timnath Reservoir, Windsor Reservoir, and Black Hollow Reservoir, which dominate the landscape alongside numerous smaller lakes like Lee Lake and Smith Res. The town of Timnath serves as a local hub, situated at the intersection of the Colorado and Southern railroad and the river.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented, including the Timnath Cem and the Boxelder Sch located near Boxelder Creek. Further south, the map identifies Kerns and the State Game and Fish Experimental Nursery, illustrating the mix of civic, transport, and conservation efforts in the mid-20th century. Notable terrain features like Cactus Hill rise above the network of canals and lateral ditches that fed the surrounding farms.
