USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The South Platte River dictates the landscape of this Morgan County region, supporting a complex network of irrigation that transformed the Weldon Valley. This 1951 survey details the intricate water management system essential to the area's agricultural survival, from the large Jackson Reservoir and its associated Jackson Lake Inlet to the extensive Weldon Valley Canal and Riverside Canal. The presence of the Putman Bijou Canal (Abandoned) suggests a shifting landscape of water rights and engineering during the mid-20th century.
