1951 Map of Living Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Living Springs Ranch and the nearby settlement of Living Springs sit at the intersection of several high plains watercourses, including Kiowa Creek and Comanche Creek. This 1951 survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the specialized infrastructure of Colorado’s eastern plains, where water management is paramount to the cattle and ranching economy. The presence of the Henrylyn Canal (Abandoned) suggests early twentieth-century attempts at large-scale irrigation that were later superseded by other methods. Numerous windmills dot the landscape near Long Draw and Sand Creek, indicating the continued reliance on groundwater for livestock. Navigational and industrial development is represented by the CAA Beacon near Wolf Creek and a major Pipeline cutting diagonally across the quadrangle, illustrating how this rural expanse integrated into regional energy and aviation networks.
