About this map

The Arkansas River forms the central artery of this high plains landscape in Prowers County, where a sophisticated network of gravity-fed irrigation supports the agricultural economy. The town of Holly sits at the eastern edge of the sheet, while the smaller settlement of Hartman anchors the north, featuring local landmarks like Hartman Cem and the Air-Sprayers Number 2 Airport. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by water management, with numerous named waterways such as the Amity Canal, Buffalo Canal, Holly Ditch, and Sisson Canal cutting across the terrain to sustain the surrounding fields.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Amity Cem and the recreational development of the Justin Harrington Memorial Walkway Trail near the river. The grid of county roads, including Co RD 30 and Co RD HH, provides access to rural farmsteads and water features like Verhoeff Reservoir and Romer Reservoir, illustrating the enduring spatial patterns of southeastern Colorado farming communities.
