Grand Ditch, Baker Creek to LaPoudre Pass Creek, Grand Lake, Grand County, CO

Library of Congress · Documentation compiled after 1968 · Arnold Thallheimer, photographer, for the Historic American Engineering Record

A straight, still ditch runs along a forested mountainside with a dirt service road beside it; a culvert pipe passes under the road in the foreground and spruce trees line both banks.

The Grand Ditch high on the Never Summer Range: a hand-dug channel that catches Colorado River headwater streams and carries them across La Poudre Pass to the Cache la Poudre and the Front Range.

Shows: The ditch as a plain contour channel with a road beside it, and the forest it cuts through.

What this does not let you conclude: How much it carries; the transbasin page and the gage record beside it do. HAER's compilation date; photograph 1 of 4 in survey HAER CO-32, by Arnold Thallheimer.
