About this map

Big Sandy Creek winds through this Prowers County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by mid-century water management and high-plains agriculture. The 1955 planetable surveys reveal an intricate system of irrigation, featuring the Amity Canal on Levee and the Gomanche Canal, supported by engineering features like a Siphon and Flume. These canals were vital for the region's productivity, as evidenced by the distribution of numerous windmills and wells across the sections.
