1952 Map of Lamar West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor west of Lamar reveals a landscape defined by historic transit and complex irrigation engineering in the early 1950s. The northern banks are heavily managed by a network of ditches, including the Amity Canal and Vista Del Rio Ditch, which redirect water through a series of siphons to support the surrounding plains. Traces of the western migration era are preserved here as the Old Santa Fe Trail and the contemporary Santa Fe Trail parallel the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line.
