About this map

The town of Sedgwick serves as the central hub for this northeast Colorado agricultural landscape, situated along the southern bank of the South Platte River. The river corridor is heavily modified by a network of irrigation systems essential to local farming, including the Peterson Ditch, Settlers Ditch, and the Highline Canal. These waterworks parallel the river's path through the valley, supporting the township structure of T11N R46W and R47W. Beyond the river bottom, the terrain rises into high plains dissected by prominent natural drainages like Sedgwick Draw and Sand Draw.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the town's grid, featuring Railroad St and McKinstry Ave, which highlights the community's historic ties to the rail corridor. North of the primary settlement, the Sedgwick Cem sits overlooking the draws, while seasonal watercourses like Cottonwood Cr wind through the southern sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the high plains.
