2017 Map of Ferguson Corner

About this map

Ferguson Corner serves as the focal point for this section of Platte County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of natural drainages and man-made irrigation systems. The landscape is defined by the central corridor of the S Wheatland Hwy, which cuts through a region dependent on water management for ranching and agriculture. Local engineering is evident in the presence of Canal Number 1, Highline Ditch, and the Bordeaux Canal, all designed to move water across the undulating terrain. Significant water storage is provided by the Chug Springs Reservoir in the northeast and Bagley Brothers Reservoir further south. Numerous watercourses such as Chugwater Cr and Antelope Cr flow through the territory, while roads like Bordeaux Rd and S Antelope Creek Rd connect remote ranching interests to the main thoroughfare.
