1955 Map of Mc Intosh Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Mc Intosh Ranch and Spady Cow Camp anchor this mid-century survey of the arid plains in Bent County, Colorado. The landscape is defined by an intensive water management system designed to support ranching and agriculture in the high desert. The massive Adobe Creek Reservoir dominates the northeastern corner, its waters directed through a network of infrastructure including the Adobe Creek Reservoir Outlet Ditch and the Fort Lyon Storage Canal. The presence of a Landing Field (Aban'd) in the southeastern quadrant suggests a transition in local transportation or utility, while numerous segments of Levee and the Horse Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch illustrate the ongoing effort to control Adobe Creek and the seasonal runoff of the region.
