Grand Valley agriculture and the stark geography of the Book Cliffs meet in this modern look at the high desert of western Colorado. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water through the Government Highline Canal, the Ruby Ditch, and the high-elevation Ruby Lee Reservoir. These irrigation systems contrast with the natural drainage patterns of Lipan Wash, Dry Gulch, and the various branches of the Little Salt Wash.
