2022 Map of Galien

About this map

The South Platte River and its intricate network of irrigation channels dominate this Logan County landscape. The settlement of Galien serves as the primary focal point in an area where water management is central to the land’s utility, evidenced by the convergence of the Iliff Ditch, Iliff Platte Valley Ditch, and Sterling Lateral Number 1. This complex system of ditches, including Farmers Ditch and Lone Tree Ditch, illustrates the agricultural engineering required to sustain the high plains. Transport is facilitated by corridors such as Railroad Ave, which runs parallel to the river valley, and a grid of rural roads like Co Rd 61 and Co Rd 55. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, including t9n r51w and t8n r51w, that define the region's historical land division.
