Both properties are bounded by the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch. The Natural Areas Department is in the process of acquiring 5-plus acres of land from the Roselles to add to Topminnow Natural Area. The Roselles intend to retain a small parcel of land east of the Ditch, necessitating the need for an access easement. The best physical access is across the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch Road, which is maintained by North Poudre Irrigation Company within easements it owns on the City and Roselle properties.
