2019 Map of North Sterling Reservoir

About this map

North Sterling Reservoir dominates the drainage landscape of Logan County, functioning as a critical water management feature in this portion of the high plains. Fed by the North Sterling Canal which enters from the south, the reservoir is surrounded by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Darby Cr, Beall Cr, and Cedar Cr. The rugged character of the area is defined by the high point of Flat Top Butte in the northwest, while the presence of Seventeenmile Spring and Blood Spring highlights the importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD 54 and Co RD 25, provides access to the shoreline and the surrounding rangeland, tracing the section lines of the Public Land Survey System through Townships 9 and 10 North.
