About this map

Amity Canal and the irrigation infrastructure of the Arkansas River valley dominate this mid-century landscape on the Colorado-Kansas border. The presence of both the active canal and the Amity Canal (Aband) segments, alongside the Hart Lateral and a protective Levee, indicates a sophisticated water management system critical to high-plains agriculture in Prowers Co. The terrain is defined by the gradual rise toward Coolidge Ridge in the east, dissected by ephemeral drainages such as Wild Horse Creek, East Horse Creek, and Cheyenne Creek.
