2019 Map of Hadley

About this map

Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site sits prominently along the north bank of the Arkansas River, marking a location of immense significance in the history of the American West. This landscape in southeastern Colorado is defined by the managed flow of water through an arid environment, where the Fort Lyon Canal and Lewis Lateral trace the contours of the land above the river valley. The map documents small settlements and rural focal points such as Hadley, Castiel, and Casa, which are connected by a grid of county roads.
