2016 Map of Granada

About this map

Granada serves as the central hub of this eastern Colorado landscape, where the Arkansas River is flanked by an intricate network of irrigation systems and early settlements. The agricultural development of Prowers County is clearly visible through the engineered water ways of the Buffalo Canal, Granada Ditch, and Lamar Canal, which divert water to the surrounding fields. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Amache Cem to the southwest of town and Hillside Cem to the east. Smaller community centers and sidings like Bristol, Warwick, and Koen are documented along the section lines. The map also captures the settlement of Nueva Vis and various family-named thoroughfares, such as Goff Ave and S Labelle Ave, providing a detailed look at the rural road grid and water-rights infrastructure.
