About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in southeastern Colorado dominates this mid-century landscape, showing a complex irrigation infrastructure essential to the high plains. A dense network of man-made waterways, including the Fort Lyon Canal, Winding Ditch, and Consolidated Ditch, crisscrosses the terrain, supporting local agriculture and the Las Animas State Fish Hatchery. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad follows the northern bank of the river, anchoring small settlements like Marlman, Cornelia, and Riverdale.
