About this map

The Illinois River and its network of irrigation canals define this Jackson County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The region is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management, visible through named ditches like the Lowland Ditch, Pioneer Ditch, and Midland Ditch. These waterways support a series of family-named agricultural operations, including the Illinois Ranch and Overton Ranch, highlighting the importance of riparian rights in this high-altitude basin.
