2010 Map of Ovid

About this map

Ovid sits at a strategic point in the high plains of Northeast Colorado, where the waters of Lodgepole Creek meet the South Platte River valley. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the region's agricultural economy. Prominent man-made waterways like Settlers Ditch, Highline Canal, and Peterson Ditch crisscross the terrain north of the river, while South Reservation Ditch runs along its southern flank. The map records the intersection of regional transport and natural hydrology, showing how the local infrastructure accommodates the broad, braided channels of the South Platte. Beyond the residential grid of the town, industrial activity is noted at the Ovid Pit, and a significant powerline corridor traverses the southern reaches of the quadrangle, reflecting the modern utility developments in Sedgwick County.
