2022 Map of May Valley

About this map

The settlement of May Valley sits at the heart of an intricate irrigation network in Prowers County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the diversion of water. This modern survey illustrates the critical infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Fort Lyon Canal and Amity Canal. The territory is partitioned by an extensive system of waterways including the Comanche Canal, James Lateral, and the Wheatridge Lateral, reflecting the area's deep reliance on managed water for agriculture. Small communities such as Kornman, Culp, and Channing are situated along the grid of county roads, while Tinnes Airport and Fort Lyons Reservoir serve as prominent local landmarks. The distribution of these named locales and reservoirs like Prince Reservoir suggests a long-standing pattern of rural settlement clustered around reliable water sources and transportation routes like Canal Rd.
