1952 Map of Leader SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

West Bijou Creek and East Bijou Creek dominate this 1952 topographic study of the Colorado plains, where water management defines the landscape. The infrastructure of the high plains is evident in the Hopewell Ditch and an Abandoned Reservoir, reflecting the constant struggle for irrigation in an arid region. Ranching life is documented through named family operations such as Munson Ranch, Staple D Ranch, Sherman Ranch, and Bigger Ranch, which are scattered across the vast terrain along with numerous Windmill sites.
