USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Arkansas River valley defines this mid-century landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation canals supported the region's agricultural industry. The town of Rocky Ford serves as the hub of this system, anchored by the massive Sugar Refinery and the Fairground. To the east, the settlement of Swink and the small siding at Newdale follow the corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the river.
