1950 Map of Hardin

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The South Platte River carves through this Colorado landscape, defining a corridor of intensive irrigation and rail transport at mid-century. The Union Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to the river, serving the small settlements of Hardin and Kuner. The complex network of water management is the most striking element of the survey, with the Latham Ditch, Empire Intake Canal, and Riverside Canal lacing across the valley floor to support local agriculture. In the more rural sections, the Kuner School and the Seventy Ranch stand as primary landmarks for local history and genealogy research. The terrain transition is evident where the canal-irrigated bottomlands meet the undulating higher ground, marked by numerous windmills and the (Old Channel) Creek near the Bijou Dam.
