2011 Map of Silver Creek SE

About this map

Gardiner sits at the northern edge of this Platte County landscape, positioned where the regional road network meets the braided waters of the Platte River. The geography is defined by a series of parallel waterways that dictate the layout of the agricultural grid, including the Prairie Creek to the north and the South Channel Platte River further south. This 2011 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the region, where Clear Creek winds through the southern plains, crossing numerous county roads like Co RD-39 and Co RD-37. The strict section-line road system, featuring named routes such as Monroe Rd and 37th Rd, reflects a deeply organized agrarian territory where the natural hydrology of the Platte valley continues to shape the placement of infrastructure and small settlements like Gardiner.
