The South Platte River carves a fertile path through Morgan County, where agricultural life is defined by a complex network of waterways. Small settlements like Orchard and Goodrich are linked by the Union Pacific railroad, which parallels the river's northern bank. This mid-century landscape is a testament to irrigation engineering, featuring an intricate system of canals including the Weldon Valley Ditch, Putman Ditch, and the Fort Morgan Canal, which begins at the Fort Morgan Canal Headgate.
