1953 Map of Granada

About this map

Camp Amache (Aban'd) sits south of the Arkansas River in this 1950s survey, marking a site of significant mid-century history. The town of Granada serves as a central hub, flanked by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Old Santa Fe Trail. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, including the North Granada Ditch, South Granada Ditch, and Buffalo Canal, which support agriculture in the Arkansas Valley. Genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of Sunnyslope Cem near Bristol and the Granada Cem. A Historical Marker and remnants of the Lamar Canal (Aband) provide physical evidence of the evolving land use and transportation corridors that shaped Prowers County during this era.
