2013 Map of Lamar East

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor dominates this high-plains landscape, carrying water through an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Amity Canal, Hyde Canal, and Lamar Canal. The city of Lamar sits as the regional hub, with its grid expanding toward the Southeast Colorado Fairgrounds and the Lamar Community College campus. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the water management infrastructure essential to the area, tracing the Fort Bent Canal and the Lamar Reservoirs south of town. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds near the city center: Riverside Cem, Fairmount Cem, and Mt Olive Cem. The map also captures smaller satellite locales such as West Farm, Clucas, and Markham, alongside landmarks like the Lamar Waterworks and the wooded area of Big Timbers.
