USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The South Platte River valley serves as the primary corridor for commerce and irrigation across this region of Northeastern Colorado and the Nebraska border. The lifeblood of the high plains is visible in the complex network of canals and ditches, such as the Settlers Ditch and Harmony Ditch Number 1, which divert water to sustain agricultural settlements like Sterling and Atwood. Transportation patterns follow the water, with the Union Pacific railroad and major highways paralleling the river's northeasterly course.
