1968 Map of Center North

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Agricultural development and irrigation systems dominate the landscape north of Center, where a complex grid of water management features supports the high-altitude San Luis Valley. The map documents the vital role of the Farmers Union Canal and North Main Canal, alongside the North Lateral and North Central Lateral, in directing water across the level terrain. These man-made channels contrast with the natural path of La Garita Creek and a northern marsh. Local aviation and ranching are represented by the Leach Airport and family-named properties such as Lanier Ranch and Meadow Ranch. Numerous labels for Flowing Well and Flowing Wells illustrate the area's dependence on artesian water sources during this late 1960s period of Colorado history.
