About this map

Grand Lake serves as the gateway to this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Colorado River meet a complex mid-century water management network. The map documents the intricate hydraulic engineering of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, featuring the Alva B Adams Tunnel, the Granby Pumping Plant, and the Lehman Ditch. These man-made features connect the natural expanse of Shadow Mountain Lake and Lake Granby, illustrating how the region's geography was reshaped for water diversion and power.
