The Santa Fe Trail and its historic Cimarron Cutoff cross the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a vital corridor of Western expansion that parallels the modern path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. Near the center of the sheet, the Mora River winds through a valley defined by irrigation infrastructure, including the North Company Ditch and South Company Ditch. These waterworks supported the small settlement at Shoemaker and the nearby agricultural lands.
