Orchard City and its surrounding hamlets of Eckert, Austin, and Read occupy a landscape deeply defined by the complex irrigation networks of the Gunnison River basin. This survey details the critical water infrastructure supporting the valley’s agriculture, from the winding Alfalfa Ditch and Bona Fide Ditch to the significant collection area of Harts Basin. The proximity of numerous burial grounds, including Eckert Cem, Cory Cem, and Read Cem, suggests the long-established family roots in this farming corridor.
