1949 Map of Platteville
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
South Platte River hydrology dominates this 1949 study of the Colorado plains, where an intricate network of irrigation canals supported the local agricultural economy. The landscape is defined by the complex movement of water through the Meadow Island Ditch No 2, Independent Ditch, and Bucker Ditch, which redirect flow across the Bottoms. The town of Platteville serves as the central hub, situated along the Union Pacific railroad line, while smaller rail-side settlements like Ione and Maddux reflect the area's transport-oriented development.
