2016 Map of Lamb

About this map

Fort Morgan serves as the primary urban center in this high-plains landscape, where the town's grid meets the extensive irrigation systems of the Fort Morgan Canal and Bijou Canal. These waterworks are essential to the agricultural identity of the region, diverting water across the flat terrain to support farms near Lamb and Moseley. The map highlights a transition from the structured residential blocks of the city, including Ram Ave and Southridge Rd, to a vast rural section-line road network. To the south and east, the natural drainage of Badger Cr meanders through the prairie, contrasting with the straight lines of the man-made canals. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of these vital water corridors as they continue to define the development and economy of Morgan County.
