About this map

Peace Valley School stands as a focal point in this 2010 USGS survey of northern Morgan County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a grid of rural routes and an intricate network of water management. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages and canyons, including Echo Canyon and Moon Canyon, which are part of a broader watershed feeding into Wildcat Creek.

Evidence of local ranching and agricultural engineering is prevalent throughout the region, shown through numerous named water structures like Mac Rae Dam, Mason Dam, and Bettale Number 1 Dam. These features, alongside the Jackpot Ditch, illustrate the efforts to capture and redirect water in a semi-arid environment. Landmark elevations such as Twin Hills and Fry Hill provide topographic variety to the sectioned land, while Wirth Field serves as a distinct landmark in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
