Cowboys herding cattle on both sides of the Anderson Ditch, with Columbia Cemetery aka Pioneer Cemetery in the background 1880-1899. Photo from Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, Boulder Historical Society Collection and ditchproject.org. Link in bio to more then and now photos. This ditch and Smith-Gross Ditch is where CU gets all of its water and uses 80,000,000 per year in a sophisticated irrigation system, saving at least $440,000/yr from having to buy it from the city.
