About this map

The town of Hasty and the nearby settlement of Caddoa center this southeastern Colorado landscape, defined by a complex network of water management features. The Arkansas River is heavily modified here, feeding into the expansive John Martin Reservoir and the smaller Lake Hasty. Agriculture and irrigation dominate the northern plains, where the Fort Lyon Canal, Lubers Drainage Ditch, and Dingwall Ditch Retention Reservoir create a structured grid of water distribution.

Genealogical interest is found at the Union Valley Cem south of Hasty's residential streets, which include E Kansas Ave and Sunflower St. The terrain shows a shift from the surveyed street blocks of Hasty to the natural winding course of Caddoa Cr and the specialized Red Shin Hiking Trail near the dam. Several landmarks bear family names, such as the Verhoeff Spring and G W Verhoeff Reservoir, indicating long-standing local landholdings in Bent County.
