1966 Map of Hawley

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Hawley and Roberta anchor this portion of Otero County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure designed to tame the high plains. The Rocky Ford Highline Canal, Otero Canal, and Catlin Canal wind across the terrain, illustrating the critical role of water management in Colorado's agricultural development. This survey, grounded in 1964 and 1966 fieldwork with 1980s updates, documents the intersection of modern logistics and western history. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor runs parallel to the legendary Santa Fe Trail, tracing a historic path of commerce and migration. Local educational roots are visible at the Grand Valley Sch, while the presence of the Crooked Arroyo Reservoir No 2 and various gravel pits indicates a landscape actively utilized for both resource extraction and water storage along Timpas Creek.
