About this map

The S Platte River corridor near Brush serves as the central artery for a complex network of agricultural irrigation in Morgan County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of early water management systems, including the Riverside Intake Canal, Upper Platte and Beaver Canal, and the Lower Platte and Beaver Ditch. These waterways cross the landscape alongside the natural paths of Wildcat Creek and Badger Creek, supporting the rural economy of this High Plains region.

Small local nodes like Dodd, Nelson, and Lodi mark the historical rail and road junctions surrounding the city. Genealogists will find specific points of interest in the southeastern corner, where the J. L. Brush Memorial Cem and the Brush Cem are located near the Eben-Ezer Lutheran Care Center Cem. The map provides a precise layout of modern infrastructure, such as Hospital Rd and S Railway St, layered over the original township and range sections.
