1952 Map of Horse Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Whittier School sits as a solitary educational landmark in this 1952 topographic study of the high plains north of Denver. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of water through the Hudson Canal and Highline Lateral, vital arteries for agriculture in this arid section of Adams County. Two significant bodies of water, Horse Creek Reservoir and Boot Lake Reservoir, dominate the northern terrain, serving as essential catchments for the intermittent drainage of Horse Creek and Box Elder Creek. Surveyed by the Geological Survey as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, the map captures a rural infrastructure of unnamed windmills, a network of unimproved roads, and a segment of irrigation Ditch labeled as Abandoned, reflecting the shifting patterns of water management and land use during the early 1950s.
