About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in Fremont County anchors this map, where the industrial and agricultural heritage of Florence and Portland is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, including the Minnequa Canal, Union Ditch, and Brush Hollow Supply Ditch, which supported the region's development. Near the southern edge, the San Juan Bautista Cem and Florence street grid reflect the town's growth from its late 19th-century origins into a modern administrative and regional hub.

To the northeast, the community of Penrose sits near the Penrose Cem, while aviation infrastructure is represented by both Fremont County Airport and Braun Airport. The topography shifts from the river bottomlands toward the northern canyons, where Phantom Canyon and Box Canyon mark the transition into more broken terrain. This map serves as a primary reference for tracing the evolution of family-named landmarks and historical water rights in the valley.
