2013 Map of Julesburg

About this map

Julesburg sits at the northern edge of this landscape, its grid defined by streets like Cedar St, Ash St, and Elm St. The settlement's proximity to the S Platte River highlights a long history of water management in this part of Sedgwick County, where an intricate network of irrigation features includes the Highline Canal, Peterson Ditch, and Liddle Ditch. To the west, the Ovid Cem serves as a quiet landmark for genealogical research. The terrain south of the river is marked by the presence of Johnson Lake and Johnson Spring, contrasting with the more industrial activity near the Julesburg Municipal Airport. This modern survey documents the continued reliance on the river and its associated ditches, such as the Carlson Ditch and Reservation Ditch, which dominate the agricultural valley floor.
