2016 Map of Ovid

About this map

Ovid sits along the northern edge of the South Platte River valley in this 2016 survey of Sedgwick County. The town layout is clearly defined by its street grid, featuring Main St, Saunders Ave, and Monroe Ave. The surrounding landscape is dominated by an intricate network of irrigation systems and natural watercourses, which are essential for agriculture in this high plains environment. The South Platte River meanders across the central portion of the map, flanked by numerous man-made channels including the Highline Canal, Settlers Ditch, and Peterson Ditch. To the north, the terrain transitions toward Lodgepole Cr, while the southern reaches of the map show the transition into the dissected uplands characterized by features like Sand Draw. This map serves as a contemporary record of the water management infrastructure that sustains this Colorado community.
