About this map

The South Platte River corridor dominates this 2017 survey of the borderlands where Nebraska meets Colorado. Near the small settlement of Barton, the landscape is defined by the managed flow of water through a semi-arid environment, evidenced by the Western Canal and Beasley Reservoir. These irrigation features reflect the region's agricultural reliance on the river's valley, while northern reaches of the map transition into the dissecting drainage of Dry Creek and Walrath Draw.

Further east, Goldeneye Lake sits near the river bend, highlighting the localized wetlands in an otherwise dry high-plains terrain. The map captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with numerous rural routes like RD 18 and RD 14 marking the section lines. This document provides a clear look at the intersection of water management and transportation infrastructure along the state line between Deuel County, Nebraska, and Sedgwick County, Colorado.
