About this map

Fountain Creek meanders through the southwestern corner of this Colorado landscape, where the boundary between El Paso Co and Pueblo Co cuts across a high-desert terrain marked by significant water management systems. The mapping reveals a network of essential irrigation infrastructure including the Hanover Ditch Number 1 and the Jackson and Burke Ditch, which parallel the major watercourses to support local agriculture. The terrain is defined by dry creek beds such as Chico Cr and Williams Cr that snake through the sectioned township lines. A grid of rural routes like Hanover Rd and S Meridian Rd provide access to this open country, illustrating the persistent importance of water rights and land management in the region's development.
