2010 Map of Dead Horse Springs

About this map

Dead Horse Springs and the surrounding high plains of Morgan County are defined by a meticulous grid of rural routes and vital water management systems in this 2010 survey. The landscape is marked by the distinct path of Dead Horse Draw, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle toward the irrigation infrastructure that supports the region's agricultural life. The Riverside Intake Canal and Riverside Ditch are critical components of this water network, situated in the southeastern corner where the terrain meets the necessities of high-desert farming. This era of land management is represented by an extensive network of numbered and lettered thoroughfares, from County Road AA in the south to County Road II at the northern boundary, illustrating the organized section-line development characteristic of the Colorado plains.
