2013 Map of Sedgwick

About this map

Sedgwick is the primary settlement on this northeastern Colorado landscape, positioned along the northern bank of the S Platte River. This region is defined by a sophisticated water management system necessary for High Plains agriculture, featuring the Highline Canal, Settlers Ditch, and Peterson Ditch which parallel the river's course. These man-made waterways emphasize the transition from the dry uplands, marked by features like Sedgwick Draw and Sand Draw, to the irrigated bottomlands near the Cottonwood Creek confluence. The town site itself is structured around Railroad St and the local Post Office, reflecting its origins as a transport and service hub for the surrounding ranching and farming community. Notable for genealogists, the Sedgwick Cem sits north of the main townsite, while the small location of Dorsey appears further west along Us-138 E.
