1968 Map of Chivington SE

About this map

Neeskah Reservoir anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, marking a significant water management site at the Kiowa Co Prowers Co boundary in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Creek and the drainage of Rush Creek, which flow through a region shaped by agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The map details the technical layout of the Comanche Canal and Pawnee Canal, illustrating how water was diverted across these high plains. Industrial activity is visible in scattered Gravel Pits and isolated drill holes, reflecting the local extraction and resource exploration common to this part of eastern Colorado. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of natural watercourses and the man-made canal systems that sustained the rural economy between the Kiowa and Prowers county lines.
