1959 Map of Grant

About this map

Horse Prairie dominates this 1950s landscape, where a series of ranching operations and irrigation projects define the local economy. The settlement of Grant serves as the focal point for a region marked by extensive water management, including the Mansfield-Prohosky Ditch and numerous smaller Ditch networks that divert water from Horse Prairie Creek and Peterson Creek to the surrounding valley floor. The map records the persistence of early homesteading and rural infrastructure, from the Old Knoll Homestead in the northeast to family-run properties like the Christensen Ranch and Hughes Ranch.
