1956 Map of Spicer Peak

About this map

High-altitude ranching and the complex management of mountain waters define this mid-century landscape along the Continental Divide. Family-run operations like the Van Valkenburg Ranch, F P Murphy Ranch, and Bailey Ranch are tied together by a sophisticated network of gravity-fed irrigation channels, including the Mexican Ditch, Arapaho Ditch, and Eureka Ditch. These systems divert flow from alpine sources like Grizzly Creek and Martin Creek into high-basin storage sites such as the Hecla Reservoir and West Arapaho Reservoir.
