USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Big Thompson River and Little Thompson River converge in this mid-century portrait of the Colorado plains, where an intricate network of irrigation ditches like the Handy Ditch and Home Supply Ditch sustain the agricultural landscape. The town of Johnstown serves as a central hub, supported by smaller settlements such as Elwell, Buda, and Pulliam. This map captures the agricultural infrastructure of the era, from the Walker Elevator near the Great Western rail line to several reservoirs including Johnstown Res and Hillsboro Res.
