About this map

The South Platte River winds through this section of Sedgwick County, serving as the central artery for a complex network of agricultural irrigation. A system of man-made waterways, including the Highline Canal, Peterson Ditch, and Liddle Ditch, crisscrosses the river valley, illustrating the intensive water management required for farming in the high plains. The town of Julesburg sits in the northeast corner of the sheet, where its grid of streets like Spruce St and Walnut St meet the South Platte River.

Beyond the town center, the landscape is defined by the Julesburg Municipal Airport and a series of rural landmarks. The presence of Ovid Cem and local water features like Johnson Lake and Johnson Spring provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also detailes the early 21st-century road infrastructure, from major thoroughfares like Co RD 30 and Co RD 41 to the neighborhood lanes of E Railroad St.
