About this map

Fountain Creek serves as the central artery for this late-1940s landscape, where a complex network of irrigation channels like Hanover Ditch and Tom Wanless Ditch sustain the ranches along the valley floor. The map records a transition from the intensive ranching operations at McCandlish Ranch and 7 L Bar Ranch to the expanding military footprint of the Camp Carson Military Reservation, which dominates the western topography.
