2022 Map of Rocky Ford
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Rocky Ford serves as the primary hub of this Arkansas River Valley landscape, characterized by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Colorado agriculture. The Arkansas River winds through the center of the sheet, flanked by an intricate system of waterways including the Fort Lyon Storage Canal, Catlin Canal, and Rocky Ford Highline Canal. These engineering works define the local economy, supporting specific areas like Melon Field and Cottonwood Field. To the east, the smaller settlement of Swink sits along the rail corridor, while local history is anchored at Valley View Cem and Hillcrest Cem south of the main town. The map reveals the precise intersection of natural hydrology and man-made irrigation that has sustained the region's famous produce for over a century.
