2010 Map of Fort Morgan

About this map

Fort Morgan serves as the focal point of this Eastern Plains landscape, where the South Platte River dictates the region's agricultural and civil development. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the local economy, including the Fort Morgan Canal, Riverside Intake Canal, and the Deuel and Snyder Canal. These waterways support various local landmarks such as the Morgan Game and Fish Conservation Club Pond and Reid Ponds. To the north, the terrain is marked by ephemeral drainage features like Rock Spring Draw and Cris Lee Draw, while the city itself contains significant cultural sites including Riverside Cemetery and the Presbyterian Church Columbarium. The intersection of modern transportation and early engineering is visible at the Rainbow Bridge, which spans the river near the smaller settlements of Log Lane Village and Hurley.
