About this map

Hawk Springs anchors the southeastern corner of this Goshen County landscape, where the settlement's street grid includes names like Clarke St and Marlatt St. The geography is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs and man-made channels that crisscross the plains. Major storage sites like Goshen Hole Reservoir and Sinnard Reservoir support the region's agricultural viability, while smaller basins such as Dunn Reservoir and Hughes Reservoir dot the central terrain.

Transport and irrigation dominate the land use patterns around Fonda and the northern reach of Goodland. Natural watercourses like Horse Cr and Lone Tree Cr are supplemented by long-reaching infrastructure including the Sullivan Ditch, Woodard Ditch, and Lewis Ditch. This intricate system of ditches and county roads illustrates the high-plains ranching and farming economy as it functioned in the early twenty-first century.
