1956 Map of Boettcher Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

High-altitude homesteads and a sophisticated network of irrigation ditches define this mid-century look at the North Park basin. The North Fork North Platte River meanders through the valley floor, supporting agricultural interests like the Shafer Ranch and Boettcher Ranch. The landscape is a study in early mountain water management, featuring numerous named canals such as the Helena Ditch, Shafer Ditch, and Little Nellie Ditch that redirect water from mountain creeks to the valley's arid rangelands.
