1969 Map of Church Butte NW

About this map

Hams Fork winds through the northeastern corner of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a vital water source for the local agricultural infrastructure. The irrigation history of the region is etched into the terrain through features such as the Old Mexican Ditch and the Winslow Hallock and Capen Ditch, which redirect water from the river to support ranching operations. The Union Pacific corridor runs parallel to these waterworks, marking the path of one of the West's most significant transportation arteries. To the south and west, the terrain becomes more distinct with the high ground of Chrisman Bench and the drainage of Zieglers Wash. This 1969-field-checked survey illustrates a transitional landscape where early 20th-century water rights and transcontinental rail lines meet modern industrial markers like the subterranean Pipeline.
