1953 Map of Holly West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Arkansas River valley in Prowers County defines this mid-century landscape, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure supports the high plains agriculture of eastern Colorado. This survey reveals the critical role of water management through features like the Amity Canal, Sisson Canal, and Buffalo Canal, which parallel the river's course. The historic Old Santa Fe Trail and a designated Wagon Road are visible, tracing the older paths of westward expansion alongside the modern Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. Settlement patterns center on small communities like Hartman, Amity, and the western edge of Holly. Local landmarks such as the Hartman Cemetery, Amity Cemetery, and a Grain Elevator provide valuable points of reference for genealogists and researchers interested in the era's rural infrastructure and community layout.
