Recollections of Mosss Water Raisings and Terry Lake
A Denver era reminiscence recounts founding water storage on the Poudre and Terry Lake reservoir. Moss and Dave Wyatt led farmers in organizing storage, battling lawsuits, and expanding reservoirs to secure late irrigation. The author recalls early trials, court fights, and the growth of a major irrigation district driving regional farming prosperity. He praises the High Line Canal and Antero projects as future boons for land values and investor opportunities under northern Colorado’s water system.
