2013 Map of Peace Valley School

About this map

Peace Valley School stands as a focal point in this portion of Morgan County, marking a localized center of community in a landscape defined by an extensive network of county roads and water management features. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages and canyons, including Allan Canyon, Echo Canyon, and Porter Canyon, which suggest a complex system of seasonal water flow through this high plains environment. Water rights and agricultural management are evident through the presence of Jackpot Ditch, which winds through the central and southern sections, and Bettale Reservoir Number 1 located near the southeastern corner. These man-made water features, alongside natural sources like East Prong Spring and Rock Spring, highlight the essential nature of water control for the homesteads and ranches that historically occupied this region. The map also records several distinctive landforms, such as the Twin Hills and Lone Tree Draw, which served as reliable landmarks for residents navigating the rural grid.
