1952 Map of Lamar West

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Arkansas River valley defines the character of this Prowers County landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Old Santa Fe Trail both follow the river's path westward. A complex irrigation system of ditches and canals, including the Amity Canal and Vista Del Rio Ditch, supports agricultural development across the plains. The city of Lamar sits on the eastern edge of the survey, connected to rural landmarks like the Riverview Church and Crawford Cem in the north. The southern terrain transitions into high ground featuring Willow Creek and Dry Creek, alongside infrastructure like the Lamar Municipal Airport and the National Guard Rifle Range. The map documents early 20th-century water management, noting the Lamar Canal Diversion Dam and remnants of the Fort Bent Canal (Abandoned).
