Teller Reservoir is located near Stone City, CO and was created in the early 1900s to provide a consistent water source for farmers and ranchers in the area. The reservoir is fed by several surface streams and snowpack runoff from the surrounding mountains. The hydrology of the area is heavily influenced by snowpack, which typically melts in the spring and summer months, providing a steady stream of water for agricultural use. The reservoir is primarily used for irrigation, but it also serves as a popular recreational spot for fishing, boating, and camping. The surrounding area is home to several ranches and farms, which rely on the water from Teller Reservoir to sustain their crops and livestock. The reservoir plays an important role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife.
