2016 Map of Lubers

About this map

Lubers sits at the heart of an intricate irrigation network in Bent County, defined by a series of significant water engineering projects. The landscape is primarily shaped by the Fort Lyon Canal and the Kicking Bird Canal, which snake across the terrain to support regional agriculture. Local water management is further evidenced by the Lubers Ditch and the Lubers Drainage Ditch, highlighting the critical role of water rights and transport in this High Plains environment. Natural drainage features such as Limestone Cr, W Limestone Cr, and Prowers Arroyo cut through the topography, leading toward the Arkansas River valley just beyond the map's southern edge. For those tracing the evolution of Colorado's water history, the map documents the alignment of these vital canals alongside county roads like Fort Lyon Canal Rd and Co RD 24.
