1955 Map of Lubers

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Lubers serves as the primary focal point of this mid-century topographic survey of the Bent County landscape. The area is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, including the Fort Lyon Canal and Kicking Bird Canal, which highlight the critical role of irrigation in the High Plains. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, running parallel to the Lubers Drainage Ditch. Natural drainage is carved by West Limestone Creek and Prowers Arroyo, with the latter featuring a Road on Levee that demonstrates how early infrastructure followed the contours of the water. Local economic history is further noted by a Rock Quarry (Inactive) and Jims Pond, providing specific markers for family researchers and historians of the region's land use.
