2013 Map of Lubers

About this map

Lubers sits at the intersection of a complex irrigation network in this high plains region of eastern Colorado. The landscape is defined by the engineering of water, with the Fort Lyon Canal and Kicking Bird Canal traversing the terrain to support agriculture. Smaller-scale water management is visible through Lubers Ditch and the Lubers Drainage Ditch, which channel resources through the flatlands surrounding the settlement. Natural drainage features like Prowers Arroyo and Limestone Cr cut across the geometric grid of county roads, illustrating the contrast between the natural topography and the established township and range system. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how rural infrastructure and water rights have shaped the development of Lubers and its immediate surroundings.
