2019 Map of Galien

About this map

South Platte River serves as the hydrological anchor for this Logan County landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation channels defines the agricultural character of the region. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the high plains, featuring systems such as the Iliff Ditch, Bravo Ditch, and the Sterling Lateral Number 1. These waterways represent the essential engineering required to sustain settlement in this arid environment. Near the river, the small settlement of Galien sits along the road network, while the northern reaches are marked by Railroad Ave and the Iliff Platte Valley Ditch. The survey provides a clear view of the section lines and rural roads like Co Rd 36 that partition the plains, illustrating the intersection of natural river corridors and human-made water management.
