1892 Map of Lamar
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Arkansas River corridor serves as the primary artery of development in this late 19th-century survey of southeastern Colorado. Settlers and engineers transformed the semi-arid landscape by tapping the river with the Arkansas Valley Canal, creating a network of irrigation that supported the growth of Lamar and Prowers. The map captures a critical era of western transport, showing the parallel paths of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad along the river and the Missouri Pacific Railroad crossing the northern plains through Eads and Chivington.
