1950 Map of Windsor
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Cache la Poudre River and Big Thompson River dominate the drainage of this Northern Colorado landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of irrigation engineering including the Greeley No 2 Canal, Whitney Ditch, and Loveland and Greeley Canal. The settlement of Windsor is the primary hub, situated near the shores of Windsor Lake and served by the Colorado and Southern and Great Western railroads. A snapshot of rural life in the mid-20th century is preserved through the locations of local schoolhouses like Oklahoma School, Jeffers Sch, and Mountain View School. The map illustrates the region's agricultural transition, featuring numerous small water bodies such as Koenig Reservoir and Oklahoma Reservoir that supported the local farming economy across the Larimer and Weld county line.
