2019 Map of May Valley

About this map

Agricultural water management in Prowers County is clearly delineated in this 2019 survey, where a sophisticated network of canals and laterals dominates the landscape. The Fort Lyon Canal and Amity Canal frame a region defined by the careful movement of water, supporting several small settlements including Kornman, Channing, and Culp. Small water bodies like Prince Reservoir and Fort Lyons Reservoir serve as vital nodes within this grid of irrigation ditches, including the Wheatridge Lateral and Clover Meadow Ditch. Aside from the rural communities, the Tinnes Airport serves as a lone modern landmark within the agricultural blocks. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural road system, such as Co RD RR and Co RD TT, which follow the rigid geometry of the High Plains township and range divisions.
