1972 Map of Timpas NE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Swink Reservoir No 1 and Prairie Land Reservoir No 1 anchor this arid Otero County landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in Colorado's high plains during the early 1970s. The region is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and infrastructure, including the Highline Canal and the Rocky Ford Canal, which carve through the terrain to support local agriculture. This survey, updated with revisions from 1983, also tracks industrial and utility footprints such as a Gravel Pit, an exploratory Drill Hole, and a prominent Pipeline traversing the quadrangle. The presence of a Flowing Well and various fence lines, marked in fine red dashed lines, provides specific detail for those researching historical land use or surveying the rural development of the Arkansas River Valley's outskirts.
