The South Platte River winds through this Morgan County landscape, anchoring a complex system of water management essential to the high plains. The small settlements of Orchard and Goodrich are situated near the riverbanks, serving as focal points for the surrounding agricultural network. This 2022 survey illustrates the critical role of irrigation, detailing the Riverside Intake Canal, Weldon Valley Ditch, and Putman Irrigation Ditch as they divert water from the river to the dry upland fields.
