1955 Map of Lake John

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

High-altitude ranching and water management define this mid-century view of the North Park basin. Lake John and Alkali Lake dominate the central landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Bighorn Cattle Company Ditch, Legal Tender Ditch, and Ulrich Ditch. These diversions from the North Platte River and its North Fork highlight the intensive water engineering required to support agricultural operations in this environment.
