2014 Map of Barton

About this map

Barton sits at a critical junction of transport and irrigation in this high plains landscape. The South Platte River dominates the southern reaches of the map, flanked by the Western Canal and State Line Ditch, illustrating the managed water systems essential for agriculture in this arid region on the Nebraska-Colorado border. To the north, the terrain is marked by the winding course of Dry Cr and the Beasley Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of the land, where the historic path of Us-30 and the interstate system intersect near the local landmark of Walrath Draw. The grid of county roads, including Road 197 and Road 10, reveals the organized settlement patterns of Deuel and Sedgwick counties.
