2022 Map of Ovid

About this map

Ovid sits at the heart of an intricate water-management landscape in the northeastern corner of Colorado. The town’s grid is clearly defined by local streets including Saunders Ave and Monroe Ave, positioned just north of the meandering South Platte River. The area’s reliance on irrigation is evident through a sophisticated network of canals and waterways, such as the Highline Canal, Settlers Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and the S-Reservation Ditch. These features illustrate the transformation of the High Plains into a productive agricultural region. To the north, the terrain transitions toward Lodgepole Cr, while the river valley itself is marked by complex wetlands and drainage patterns that have historically shaped the settlement and transport corridors of Sedgwick County.
