1966 Map of Mile High Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Agricultural water management and the expansion of the High Plains irrigation network define this landscape in the mid-1960s. The prominent Barr Lake anchors the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a critical reservoir alongside a cluster of private and municipal water bodies known as the Mile High Lakes. This hydraulic infrastructure is supported by an intricate system of gravity-fed waterways, including the Denver-Hudson Canal, Beebe Canal, and the Seep Canal, which transformed the arid prairie into productive farmland.
