1951 Map of Judson Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Sunnyside School (Abandoned) stands as a lonely landmark in this 1951 survey of the Colorado high plains, situated north of the Judson Hills. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage draws and canyons, including Wildcat Canyon, Scott Canyon, and Whipple Canyon, which carve through the terrain toward the south. Irrigation history is visible in the lower sections of the map, where the Riverside Canal cuts across the southwest corner and the Jackpot Ditch (Abandoned) suggests early attempts at water management in this arid region. Numerous windmills dot the section lines, indicating the importance of groundwater for the scattered ranching operations between Stony Point and Minter Hill. This document captures the agricultural infrastructure and topography of Morgan County before more modern development altered the rural school and irrigation patterns.
