1955 Map of Holly NE

About this map

The High Plains landscape at the border of Colorado and Kansas is defined here by the essential movement of water across the Richland and Coolidge terrains. The map documents an intricate network of irrigation and flood control measures, including the Levee, the Hart Lateral, and various Ditch segments that supported agriculture in this arid region. Significant to local history is the transition of water rights and infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Amity Canal alongside an earlier Amity Canal (Abandoned) route.
