About this map

The Arkansas River and the massive basin of the John Martin Reservoir dominate this eastern Colorado landscape, revealing a sophisticated network of water management infrastructure. Irrigation and drainage are central to the region's character, as seen in the paths of the Fort Lyon Canal, Lexere Ditch, and Lubers Drainage Ditch, alongside smaller impoundments like the G W Verhoeff Reservoir. This concentration of water engineering suggests a landscape deeply transformed for agricultural and flood control purposes.

Residential life centers on the town of Hasty, where a grid of local streets like E Broadway Ave and S Main St provides a sense of community structure near the water's edge. To the south, the settlement of Caddoa sits along Caddoa Cr, while the Union Valley Cem serves as a genealogical touchstone for the area. The map also captures several natural features like Verhoeff Spring and Lake Hasty, illustrating the diverse aquatic environments found within this high plains region.
