1953 Map of Lamar East

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor dominates this 1953 landscape, defined by a complex network of irrigation and transport infrastructure. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the river, following the same low-lying path as the Old Santa Fe Trail. This historic transit route is flanked by extensive water engineering, including the Amity Canal, Lamar Canal, and Vista Del Rio Ditch, which supported the agricultural development of Prowers County.
