About this map

The irrigation infrastructure of Grant County's agricultural heartland is the primary focus of this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the W 20 Canal and a series of technical water-management features, including a prominent Aqueduct and a Siphon near the center of the sheet. These systems, managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, were critical to transforming the arid terrain into productive farmland. Settlement patterns follow the grid of established routes like Dodson Road and White Trail Road. Local community life is anchored at the Grange Hall, while industrial and utility sites such as a Pumping Station, a Radio Tower, and various Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit indicate the ongoing development of the area's physical and communication networks during this period.
