2013 Map of Prowers

About this map

Old Fort Lyons and the woodland area known as Big Timbers anchor this section of the Arkansas River valley in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of historic water management features, including the Keesee Canal, Fort Bent Canal, Sunflower Ditch, and Amity Canal, reflecting the region's agricultural reliance on the river's flow. Small settlements and transit points like Prowers, Able, and Four Corners Crossing dot the plains north and south of the river corridor.
