About this map

The agricultural and water management systems of the South Platte River valley define this 1960s landscape, updated with purple revisions showing urban expansion through the late 1970s. Brighton serves as the focal point, anchored by the Union Pacific railroad and a dense concentration of civic institutions like District 27 Sch and St Augustine Sch. The surrounding territory reveals a complex network of irrigation, featuring the O'Brian Canal, Burlington Ditch, and Fulton Ditch, which feed numerous reservoirs including Barr Lake and the Stouffer Reservoirs.
