About this map

The irrigated plains of Morgan County are defined here by a network of water management systems critical to the region's agricultural character. The Upper Platte and Beaver Canal and Fort Morgan Canal cut through the western edge of the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required to support life in this semi-arid part of Colorado. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural winding course of Beaver Cr, which meanders across the southern sections of the quadrangle. At the intersection of modern county roads lies Ninemile Corner, a distinct local landmark that anchors the surrounding rural landscape. This modern survey shows a grid of county roads, such as Co RD R and Co RD 30, that segment the land into precise township and range divisions, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the western prairie.
