1953 Map of Cheraw
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Arkansas River valley in the early 1950s reveals an intricate system of water management and industrial growth centered around the settlement of Cheraw. This landscape is defined by its massive irrigation and storage network, including the Fort Lyon Storage Canal, Holbrook Reservoir, and Cheraw Lake, which sustain the local agriculture. The presence of a Sugar Refinery near North La Junta and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line highlights the era's dependence on the rail-to-factory pipeline for sugar beet processing and regional trade.
