2010 Map of Meridian

About this map

Meridian appears at a crossroads of rapid expansion and deep agricultural heritage in this 2010 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate mesh of water management, where the Ridenbaugh High Line Canal and Settlers Canal feed a dense network of laterals like the McBirney Lateral and State Lateral. This sophisticated irrigation system transformed the arid plains near Purdam Gulch into a productive corridor, even as residential streets began to overtake the old fields. Significant waterways such as Tenmile Creek and Indian Creek thread through the township, while the Meridian Cemetery stands as a local landmark on the eastern edge. To the west, the smaller settlement of Sonna remains positioned along the drainage systems of the Purdam Gulch Drain, illustrating the region's reliance on managed water for its continued growth and stability.
