About this map

La Junta and Las Animas anchor this river-valley landscape where the Arkansas River meets the historic path of the Santa Fe Trail. The map documents a complex irrigation and transport network in the early 1980s, defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads. Large-scale water management is evident through the John Martin Reservoir and Adobe Creek Reservoir, supporting a string of agricultural communities like Rocky Ford, Ordway, and Sugar City.
