2016 Map of Peace Valley School

About this map

Peace Valley School stands as a local landmark in this northern section of Morgan County, situated amidst a landscape defined by an intricate network of draws and canyons. The terrain transitions from the high, relatively flat plains in the north to a more eroded topography in the south, where Wildcat Cr and its tributaries, such as E Prong Wildcat Cr, have carved deep features like Porter Canyon and Moon Canyon. Human modification of the arid landscape is evident through water management features like Jackpot Ditch and Bettale Reservoir Number 1, which support ranching and agricultural operations. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of named springs, including East Prong Spring and Rock Spring, which remain vital water sources in this dry environment. The area is gridded by a disciplined system of county roads, including Co RD 18 and Co RD HH, which provide access to these remote reaches of the Colorado plains.
