1968 Map of Farson

About this map

The Eden Valley landscape in the late 1960s was defined by a critical intersection of water management and western history. This arid region relied heavily on an intricate network of irrigation, including the Eden Canal, Eden Lateral, and Hay Lateral, which diverted water to sustain the small settlements of Farson and Eden. The presence of the Lower Emigrant Farson Cutoff Trail crossing the north side of the sheet underscores the area's deep roots as a thoroughfare for early western travelers.
