About this map

The Arkansas River and its massive impoundment at John Martin Reservoir dominate this eastern Colorado landscape, reflecting a century of water management in Bent County. The small settlement of Hasty is neatly platted south of the Fort Lyon Canal, serving as a gateway to the recreation areas surrounding Lake Hasty. Genealogical interest centers on the Union Valley Cem located just south of the town's main residential grid.

South of the river, the landscape transitions into the drainage of Caddoa Cr near the community of Caddoa. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation and water control infrastructure, including the Leveve Ditch, Dingwall Ditch Retention Reservoir, and the Lubers Drainage Ditch. For those exploring the terrain on foot, the Red Shin Hiking Trl winds along the northern bluffs of the reservoir, offering a perspective on the area's geological and hydrological character.
