About this map

Walrath Draw and Hartley Draw cut across this high plains landscape in Deuel County, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that define the region. The map captures a largely agricultural and rural corridor just north of the Colorado state line, where the land is organized by a strict grid of section roads including Road 18 and Road 8. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Peterson Ditch and the State Line Ditch, which follows the political boundary. These features, along with O Neil Draw, show how early 21st-century topography remains shaped by both intermittent natural watercourses and man-made irrigation infrastructure essential for plains farming.
