USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The South Platte River dictates the landscape of this 1949 survey, its winding course flanked by an intricate network of irrigation channels including the Platte Valley Canal, Beeman Ditch, and Fulton Ditch. This reliance on river water supported the agricultural communities of Platteville and nearby Ione, where the Union Pacific railroad provided essential transport for the region's produce. The map captures a moment when the rural landscape was meticulously organized around these water rights and rail sidings.
