USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Julesburg serves as the focal point of this Sedgwick County landscape, positioned where the Union Pacific railroad parallels the broad valley of the South Platte River. The mapping reveals an intricate network of irrigation vital to the high plains economy, including the Peterson Ditch, South Reservation Ditch, and Carlson Ditch. These man-made watercourses crisscross the terrain near Johnson Lake and the Julesburg townsite, illustrating the engineering required to sustain agriculture in this semi-arid region.
