2013 Map of Lamar West

About this map

The Arkansas River valley defines the landscape west of Lamar, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural economy. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical role of irrigation, showing the Amity Canal, Fort Bent Canal, and Lamar Canal as they parallel the river's winding course. The settlement of Beta and the Lamar Municipal Airport are positioned near the center of the sheet, providing a snapshot of modern infrastructure in Prowers County. Local history is anchored by the Crawford Cem in the northeast, while the terrain feature known as Big Timbers marks the riverbank. The map tracks the transition from the organized street grid of western Lamar, including W Washington St and S 10th St, to the rural expanse of southern Prowers and Bent counties.
