The Arkansas River valley defines this late-twentieth-century landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation canals like the Fort Lyon Canal and Amity Canal transformed the arid High Plains. This era of agricultural and industrial water management is visible through the massive John Martin Reservoir and the Neenoshe Reservoir system to the north. Traces of historical movement cross the region, from the ancient route of the Santa Fe Trail to the dominant lines of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
