About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in southeastern Colorado is defined here by an intricate network of irrigation engineering and rail transport. At the settlement of Elder, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad parallels the river, providing a vital transit link across the plains. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management, including the Catlin Canal, Otero Canal, and the Oxford Farmers Ditch, which divert water to sustain agriculture in this arid region.
