1955 Map of Lubers

About this map

Lubers sits at the junction of rail and irrigation infrastructure in the mid-1950s, serving as a focal point for the agricultural landscape of Bent County. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor runs parallel to a complex system of water management features, including the Fort Lyon Canal and the Kicking Bird Canal. This network of canals and the Lubers Drainage Ditch illustrate the intensive effort to redirect water from Prowers Arroyo and other natural drainages to support the High Plains farming economy.
