About this map

T A Ranch serves as a central hub in this Johnson County landscape, where ranching and early irrigation infrastructure dominate the terrain. The map details a complex water management system featuring the Fort Collins Canal, Watkins Ditch, and the Twenty and One Half Mile Ditch, illustrating the 20th-century effort to move water across the Ninemile Divide and the Colorado Flats. The North Fork Crazy Woman Creek winds through the central portion of the survey, joined by numerous seasonal drainages like Sand Draw and Gossett Draw.

Evidence of rural community life is anchored by the Billy Creek Sch and small settlement points at Eder and Bates. Transportation through the area follows the historic Trabing Road, while the rising T A Hills and Kingsbury Ridge provide topographic contrast to the plains. This 1970 field-checked survey also captures industrial markers such as several Gas Wells and an aviation Landing Field near the main ranch complex.
