2013 Map of Brush East

About this map

The S Platte River corridor dominates this 2013 landscape, where a complex network of historic water management features defines the agricultural character of Morgan County. Long-established infrastructure like the Snyder Canal, Riverside Ditch, and the Lower Platte and Beaver Ditch illustrate the region's reliance on irrigation to sustain the settlements of Snyder, Hillrose, and Camden. To the southwest, the town of Brush serves as a hub, anchored by its municipal grid and proximity to the Brush Municipal Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the river valley's riparian bottomlands to the surrounding high plains, marked by landmarks such as Dead Horse Draw and Trowel Ranch. The map traces the critical transportation and utility corridors, including Us-34 E and the N Sterling Canal, which have historically linked these high-plains communities to broader regional markets.
