1950 Map of South Spring
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Agricultural irrigation and rail transport define the Pecos Valley landscape near South Spring in the mid-twentieth century. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain, connecting small settlements like Fairbanks, Saunders Addition, and the community of Orchard Park. This era’s reliance on water management is evident in the dense network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Hagerman Canal and various unnamed ditches that pull from the Pecos River and South Spring Creek.
