About this map

Bonny Reservoir serves as the central focal point of this eastern Colorado landscape, where the South Fork Republican River and several local tributaries converge. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential for high plains agriculture, featuring the Hale Ditch and the smaller O'Brien Reservoir Number 1. These waterways, including Armknecht Cr and Landsman Cr, dictate the movement of roads and property lines across the terrain.

A strictly gridded section-line road network, defined by routes like Co RD 2 and Co RD 53, reveals the organized agricultural development of the region. The map also documents the political geography of the area, specifically the boundary line where Yuma Co meets Kit Carson Co. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of natural drainage basins like Beaver Cr with the engineered infrastructure of the modern plains.
