1954 Map of Elder

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in Otero County is defined here by a sophisticated network of irrigation systems and transportation routes. Water management is the primary driver of the local landscape, evidenced by the prominent Catlin Canal, Otero Canal, and the Farmers Oxford Ditch, which parallel the river and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. South of the river valley, the terrain rises into the distinctive Apishapa Bluff and Apishapa Mesa No 2, where the Apishapa River meanders toward its confluence.
