USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The South Platte River and its accompanying Union Pacific railroad line dominate this mid-century view of the agricultural corridor in Weldon Valley. The map illustrates a complex network of water management, ranging from the massive Jackson Reservoir and its associated Jackson Lake Inlet and Jackson Lake Outlet to the intricate system of ditches like the Weldon Valley Ditch and Putman Ditch. These systems sustained the small rural settlements of Orchard and Goodrich during a period of steady irrigation development.
