2013 Map of Lamb

About this map

Fort Morgan occupies the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the street grid expands south of the rail corridor along W Railroad Ave and E Burlington Ave. The surrounding High Plains terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and industry, notably the Bijou Canal and Fort Morgan Canal which cut across the prairie to support local agriculture. The presence of the Fort Morgan Oil Field near the center of the sheet and Badger Creek Farms to the east highlights the dual economic reliance on petroleum extraction and large-scale farming. To the west, the settlement of Lamb sits at a crossroads of the gridded county road system, while Badger Creek meanders northward through the eastern sections, providing a natural break in the geometric township and range lines of t003n r057w and t003n r058w.
