The high plains of Colfax County meet a complex network of irrigation and water management centered on the village of Maxwell. This landscape is defined by its hydraulic engineering, where the Vermejo River and Canadian River supply an intricate system of canals and reservoirs including the Siphon Ditch, Number 11 Lateral, and Highline Ditch. These waterways feed a series of numbered catchments that form the heart of the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge, providing a vital sanctuary in an otherwise arid environment.
