1951 Map of Living Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Kiowa Creek and Comanche Creek define the drainage of this Adams County landscape, where the high plains terrain is marked by the remnants of early twentieth-century water management and ranching. The presence of the Henrylyn Canal (Abandoned) in the northwest corner signifies the complex history of irrigation efforts in this semi-arid region, while the Living Springs Ranch serves as a central point of settlement. Navigation and infrastructure are represented by a CAA Beacon near Wolf Creek and a long Pipeline traversing the central sections. Numerous windmills dot the map, indicating a heavy reliance on groundwater for livestock across the rolling sections. The inclusion of a Silo and various wells near Sand Creek further illustrates the agricultural character of this area during the early 1950s.
