USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The South Platte River valley dictates the settlement patterns and economic lifelines of northeastern Colorado in this mid-century mapping. Irrigation infrastructure, such as the North Sterling Canal and major water bodies like Julesburg Reservoir and Prewitt Reservoir, illustrate the extensive engineering required to support agriculture across the High Plains. The landscape is punctuated by geological landmarks like the Pawnee Buttes and Marks Butte, providing a rugged contrast to the flat expanses of Jones Flat.
