1965 Map of Springer Lake

About this map

The Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) land grant legacy defines this Colfax County landscape, where massive historic holdings transitioned into a complex network of irrigation and institutional use. Water management is the primary driver of the terrain, visible through the extensive Highline Canal, Springer Ditch, and a series of siphons and ditches feeding Springer Lake and No 3 Lake. These engineering features converted the high plains near the Cimarron River and Rayado Creek into productive ranching territory.
