About this map

The southern outskirts of Fort Morgan transition into a landscape shaped by irrigation and water management in this modern survey of Morgan County. The northern edge of the map features the established street grid of the city, including W Railroad Ave and E Railroad Ave, while the rural areas to the south are defined by the critical paths of the Fort Morgan Canal and Bijou Canal. These waterways underscore the importance of agriculture in the high plains, providing the infrastructure necessary for the settlements of Lamb and Trail Side.

The terrain is marked by the winding course of Badger Cr, which cuts through the township divisions of T3N R58W and T2N R57W. Small rural clusters like Moseley are connected by a precise network of county roads, such as Co RD 19 and Co RD R, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. This record captures the intersection of urban growth and the enduring reliance on canal-fed ranching and farming south of the Platte River valley.
