About this map

Judson Hills and its surrounding draws and canyons define this Morgan County landscape, where water management is central to the high plains geography. The map documents an intricate network of irrigation and storage, notably the Jackpot Ditch, the Riverside Intake Canal, and Whittington Reservoir held by the Whittington Dam. This hydraulic infrastructure is supported by natural water sources like Wildcat Creek and the Sterling Spring, which feeds into the larger canyon systems.

Local topographic landmarks such as Minter Hill, High Hill, and Fry Hill serve as navigational anchors amidst a grid of rural routes including County Road GG and County Road DD. The distribution of these features reveals a specialized agricultural environment where every Schaefer Draw, Lamborn Draw, and Aker Draw is mapped for its role in directing the scarce prairie rainfall toward managed reservoirs like Christensen Reservoir Number 1.
