About this map

The South Platte River dictates the settlement and agricultural patterns of this Morgan County landscape. A network of irrigation works, including the Riverside Ditch, Tremont Canal, and the Lower Platte and Beaver Ditch, facilitates farming across the valley. The town of Brush anchors the southwest corner, while smaller railroad settlements like Snyder and Hillrose line the river corridor.

The presence of the Brush Municipal Airport and numerous county roads, such as Co RD S and Co RD 29, indicates a well-connected rural infrastructure. Several named water bodies and drainage features, such as Costelloe Reservoir and Dead Horse Draw, highlight the region's managed water resources. This map provides a clear look at the agricultural heart of the high plains, where water rights and transport routes define the local geography.
