Maxwell sits at the heart of an intricate water-management network in Colfax County, where the high plains meet the engineered landscape of the Maxwell Irrigation Project. This 2010 survey illustrates how the Canadian River and Vermejo River are harnessed through a sophisticated system of storage and transport. Large impoundments like Maxwell Number 14 Reservoir and Number Thirteen Lake feed into a web of named channels, including the Highline Ditch and the Stubblefield Eagle Tail Lateral.
