About this map

Family ranchlands and early water management define this landscape at the border of El Paso and Pueblo Counties. Large holdings such as Hammer Ranch and Williams Ranch are interspersed among the drainages of Williams Creek and Chico Creek, reflecting the importance of grazing and water access in the mid-20th century. Infrastructure for irrigation is prominent, including the Hanover Ditch and Jackson and Burke Ditch, which cut across the high plains terrain to support local agriculture.
