1952 Map of Lamar West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor defines this portion of Prowers County, where the valley's irrigation infrastructure meets the historic path of the Old Santa Fe Trail. Near the city of Lamar, the landscape is shaped by an extensive network of waterways including the Amity Canal, Fort Bent Canal, and the Vista Del Rio Ditch, all supported by the Lamar Canal Diversion Dam. These systems converted the high plains into productive land, flanked by the riparian woodland of Big Timbers. Local history is anchored by rural institutions such as the Dry Creek School and Riverview Church, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway tracks run parallel to the river. The survey also captures the Lamar Municipal Airport and a National Guard Rifle Range, reflecting the mid-century development of the regional hub.
