1965 Map of Dry Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates the upper reaches of this mid-1960s landscape, where high plateaus give way to a complex system of agricultural water management. The southern slopes of the mesa are etched with essential irrigation infrastructure, including the Overland Canal, Highline Ditch, and Stingley Ditch, which redirect water from drainages like Leroux Creek to support the lower ranching lands. This survey captures a rural economy built on the dual pillars of water rights and resource extraction.
