Beckwith Mountain and Beddows Mountain dominate this corner of Custer County, where the peaks of the San Isabel National Forest descend into the high agricultural lands of the Wet Mountain Valley. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems required for ranching on the Ula Prairie, including the Lohstroh Highline Ditch, James Jarvis Swift Cr Ditch Number 3, and the Upper Smith Ditch. These man-made waterways reflect a long-standing reliance on mountain snowmelt to sustain the local economy.
