2016 Map of Judson Hills

About this map

Judson Hills and the surrounding high ground of Morgan County characterize this 2016 landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage features. Water management in this semi-arid region is evident through infrastructure like the Jackpot Ditch and the Riverside Intake Canal, which facilitate movement between the local reservoirs. Notable water storage sites include Whittington Reservoir in the east and Christensen Reservoir Number 1 in the southwest, both serving as vital collection points for the seasonal flows of Wildcat Cr. The map reveals a naming tradition tied to the rugged topography, with features such as Minter Hill, Fry Hill, and Stony Point providing clear landmarks for navigation across the range. A series of canyons and draws, including Sterling Canyon and Scott Canyon, illustrate the complex erosion patterns that define this part of the Colorado high plains.
