About this map

Agricultural development and complex water management define this landscape at the intersection of Larimer and Weld counties. The town of Windsor serves as a hub, situated near the shores of Windsor Lake and the Cache La Poudre River. The map reveals a dense network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's farming economy, including the Greeley No 2 Canal, Whitney Ditch, and Eaton Ditch. These waterways support numerous reservoirs like the Oklahoma Reservoir and Koenig Reservoir.

Transportation corridors are anchored by three major rail lines: the Colorado and Southern, the Union Pacific, and the Great Western, which converge near the settlement of Kelim. Beyond the main towns, the rural landscape is dotted with local landmarks such as Oklahoma School and Jeffers Sch, alongside smaller rail-side locations like Officer and Koenig, providing a detailed view of Northern Colorado's mid-century rural infrastructure.
