1972 Map of Lena Creek

About this map

Shields River anchors the western edge of this landscape in Park County, where an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure supports the valley floor. Engineering of the local water supply is evident through features like Big Ditch, Myers Ditch, and Horse Camp Ditch, which redirect water across the drainage. The terrain to the east is defined by the complex branching of Lena Creek into its North, Middle, and South Forks, alongside other significant drainages such as Porcupine Creek and Daisy Dean Creek. While mostly rural, the small settlement of Four Corners and a lone Cem suggest the quiet domestic and ranching history of the area. High points like Mather overlook a territory defined by these winding riparian corridors and the utilitarian gravel pits that suggest localized industry during the early 1970s.
