About this map

The town of Wellington and the rural community of Waverly sit at the center of an intricate agricultural and industrial landscape on the northern Colorado plains. This 2010 survey reveals a complex network of water management, defined by numerous irrigation systems like the Larimer County Canal and a dense concentration of reservoirs, including Douglas Reservoir, Wasson Reservoir, and the North Poudre Reservoir series. These artificial lakes, many paired with their respective dams, illustrate the critical role of water storage in supporting the regional economy.

Industrial and local history are marked by landmarks such as the Whittier Oil Field and the Wellington Siding along the railroad corridor. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies the Reu Family Cemetery and small crossroads like Meyers Corner and Kenyon Corner. The layout of county roads, such as N Taft Hill Rd and W County Rd 68, provides a clear view of the transition from residential plots to expansive agricultural and utility sites.
