USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Arkansas River valley defines this irrigation-driven landscape, where a sophisticated network of canals and reservoirs supports the agricultural economy of Otero County. Centered on the town of Cheraw, the map illustrates a terrain marked by water management features like the Fort Lyon Storage Canal, Lake Canal, and the expansive Holbrook Reservoir. These systems were vital for local industry, most notably the Sugar Refinery located near the riverbank.
