See Map 2.05.4 -5 for the location of the irrigated and the dryland pasture portions of this tract. This map also shows the reclaimed surface topography. Additional lands surrounding this 12.40 acre irrigated area can be irrigated in the future if Benson desires to do so. A minimum of 52 acres can be irrigated since the slopes are very mild (10 feet vertical change in 250 feet), which represents the actual surveyed final topography, as seen on Map 2.05.4 -5. Since the planned irrigation area (12.40 acres) is at the high point, all lower areas can be easily irrigated if Benson decides to make the water available for this area.
