About this map

Illinois Ranch and a network of named homesteads define the high-altitude ranching landscape of this Colorado territory during the mid-1950s. The map captures an intricate system of water management essential for high-country agriculture, featuring an extensive array of irrigation channels like the Midland Ditch, Everhard and Baldwin Ditch, and the Lowland Garden Eagle DITCH. These ditches divert water from the Illinois River and Owl Creek to support operations at the Overton, Burr, and Howard ranches.
