1960 Map of Wellington
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The agricultural heart of Larimer County is defined here by an intricate system of irrigation and water storage, anchored by the town of Wellington and the rural community of Waverly. This 1960s landscape, updated in the late 1970s, reveals a highly engineered environment where the North Poudre Canal feeds a massive network of reservoirs, including the expansive Douglass Lake, Demmel Lake, and Windsor Reservoir. The intersection of rail and water is evident as the Colorado and Southern and Union Pacific lines traverse the plains near Wellington Siding. Local landmarks such as the Rocky Ridge Sch and identified junctions like Meyers Corner and Kenyon Corner provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of north-central Colorado's ranching and farming heritage.
