2022 Map of Dead Horse Springs

About this map

Dead Horse Springs lies at the heart of this Morgan County landscape, an area defined by the management of water in an arid environment. The map details the vital irrigation infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how the Riverside Intake Canal and the Riverside Ditch divert water to support local agriculture. This network follows the natural contours of Dead Horse Draw, a seasonal drainage that shapes the terrain's hydrology. The gridded road system, including routes like Co RD Ii and Co RD 2600, underscores the orderly township and range organization that has governed this region since settlement, providing access to the expansive sections of Colorado's eastern plains.
