2016 Map of Nero Hill

About this map

Nero Hill rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems in this Crowley County survey. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Colorado Canal, which feeds a series of distributaries including the Brush Lateral, Pelster Lateral, and Swink Lateral. These water management features reflect the region's agricultural reliance on diverted water sources to sustain land use in the high plains. In the eastern and western corners, localized water storage is evident at the Ordway Town Reservoir and Cudahy Reservoir. The natural drainage of Bob Cr meanders across the western sections, contrasting with the straight, engineered lines of the county roads such as Co RD R and the various numbered local connectors that grid the terrain.
