2010 Map of Nepesta

About this map

Irrigation infrastructure defines the landscape surrounding Nepesta, where the Arkansas River meanders through a network of vital waterways. This 2010 survey illustrates the sophisticated hydrological engineering required for high-plains agriculture, featuring the expansive Colorado Canal and the Rocky Ford Highline Canal. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Dotson and Enlargement Reservoir, held by the Dotson and Enlargement Dam. Water management is further detailed through several secondary channels, including the Oxford Farmers Ditch and Welton Ditch. Beyond the river valley, the terrain is marked by natural drainage features like Thompson Arroyo and Kramer Creek, and an orderly grid of local routes such as Huckleberry Rd and Garnett Rd that service the rural homesteads of Pueblo County.
